What Happened to Karnap After Dragons’ Den?

Karnap appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2011, Series 9 Episode 2. The business was a inflatable car bed. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

John McMonagle walked into the Den in 2011 with a inflatable car bed. They were asking for £125,000.

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 McMonagle left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Karnap is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show in 2011, 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 Karnap Still Available?

Yes. Druim Suntime Company Limited(the) appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
