Dragons’ Den Tracker

The Pitch

Daniel Robson walked into the Den in 2023 with a biodegradable pods for home-grown herbs and vegetables. They were asking for £80,000 in exchange for 20% of the business.

The pitch landed well enough in the Den that at least one Dragon decided to back it.

The Deal

A deal was struck on the show. Sara Davies offered £80,000 for 20%, and Daniel Robson accepted.

It’s worth noting that Dragons’ Den deals agreed on camera often go through further negotiation off-screen. Some complete as shown; others are renegotiated or never finalise at all. The company’s subsequent trading history is the clearest indicator of what actually happened.

What Happened After the Show

Grow Sow Simple did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2024 — 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 Grow Sow Simple Still in Business?

No. Grow Sow Simple is no longer in business. Based on available records, the company is liquidation (2024).
