What Happened to InterFlush After Dragons’ Den?
InterFlush appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2005, Series 2 Episode 2. The business was a device saving water usage on toilets. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2016.
The Pitch
David Wilkes walked into the Den in 2005 with a device saving water usage on toilets. They were asking for £50,000 in exchange for 5% 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 David Wilkes left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
InterFlush did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2016, some 11 years after the pitch.
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 InterFlush Still in Business?
No. InterFlush is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
