What Happened to Jaktogo After Dragons’ Den?

Jaktogo appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2012, Series 10 Episode 3. The business was a wearable coat for luggage excess. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

John Power walked into the Den in 2012 with a wearable coat for luggage excess. They were asking for £100,000.

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 John Power left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Jaktogo is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show in 2012, the business has now been trading for over two decades — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.

Is Jaktogo Still Available?

Yes. Tourism Ireland Ltd appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
