Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Glowkids After Dragons’ Den?
Glowkids appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2008, Series 6 Episode 5. The business was a high visibility clothing for children. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Caroline King walked into the Den in 2008 with a high visibility clothing for children. They were asking for £70,000.
Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.
The Deal
No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Caroline King left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Glowkids is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2008, the company has now been trading for well over a decade — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.
Is Glowkids Still in Business?
Yes. Glowkids appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
