What Happened to Inventor Cat After Dragons’ Den?
Inventor Cat appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2024, Series 21 Episode 5. The business was a toothbrush for cats. They secured investment from Deborah Meaden on the show. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Victor Carpio walked into the Den in 2024 with a toothbrush for cats. They were asking for £45,000 in exchange for 40% 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. Deborah Meaden offered £45,000 for 40%, and Victor Carpio 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
Inventor Cat is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. The company has now been trading for around 2 years since the pitch.
Is Inventor Cat Still in Business?
Yes. Inventor Cat appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
