Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Just A Splash After Dragons’ Den?
Just A Splash appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2021, Series 18 Episode 12. The business was a range of alcohol pouches for cooking. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2021.
The Pitch
Pia Varma walked into the Den in 2021 with a range of alcohol pouches for cooking. They were asking for £75,000 in exchange for 15% 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 Pia Varma left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Just A Splash did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2021 — just a year after appearing on the show.
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 Just A Splash Still in Business?
No. Just A Splash is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
