Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Hornit After Dragons’ Den?
Hornit appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2015, Series 12 Episode 10. The business was a horn for bicycles. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Tom De Pelet walked into the Den in 2015 with a horn for bicycles. They were asking for £100,000 in exchange for 10% of the business.
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 Tom De Pelet left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Hornit is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2015, 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 Hornit Still in Business?
Yes. Hornit appears to still be trading.
