What Happened to Invisible Coach After Dragons’ Den?
Invisible Coach appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2007, Series 4 Episode 6. The business was a life-style coaching web based service. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2015.
The Pitch
Myra Ostacchini walked into the Den in 2007 with a life-style coaching web based service. They were asking for £60,000 in exchange for 30% 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 Myra Ostacchini left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Invisible Coach did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2015, some 8 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 Invisible Coach Still Available?
No. The Invisible Coach Ltd is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
