What Happened to Grid 108 After Dragons’ Den?

Grid 108 appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2005, Series 1 Episode 6. The business was a website creating 3d maps of cities for use as search engines. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2005.

The Pitch

Ayesha Broadbent walked into the Den in 2005 with a website creating 3d maps of cities for use as search engines. They were asking for N/A.

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 Ayesha Broadbent left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Grid 108 did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2005 — just a year after appearing on the show.

This is not an unusual outcome. The majority of businesses that appear on Dragons’ Den, deal or no deal, don’t make it in the long run. The show can provide a platform and capital, but it can’t substitute for a sustainable business model.

Is Grid 108 Still in Business?

No. Grid 108 is no longer in business. Based on available records, the company is dissolved (2005).
