Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Jackpen After Dragons’ Den?
Jackpen appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2015, Series 12 Episode 10. The business was a miniature pen stored in headphone jack sockets. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Andrew Jewson and Gary Patterson walked into the Den in 2015 with a miniature pen stored in headphone jack sockets. They were asking for N/A.
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 Andrew Jewson and Gary Patterson left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Jackpen 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 Jackpen Still in Business?
Yes. Jackpen appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
