What Happened to Human Cannonball After Dragons’ Den?
Human Cannonball appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2011, Series 9 Episode 1. The business was a human cannonball entertainment. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Rodrigo and Lois Perez walked into the Den in 2011 with a human cannonball entertainment. They were asking for £34,000 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 Rodrigo and Lois Perez left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Human Cannonball is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2011, 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 Human Cannonball Still in Business?
Yes. Human Cannonball appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
