Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Kids Cooking Co After Dragons’ Den?
Kids Cooking Co appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2009, Series 7 Episode 6. The business was a children's cookware range. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2013.
The Pitch
Nicky Povey walked into the Den in 2009 with a children's cookware range. 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 Nicky Povey left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Kids Cooking Co did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2013, some 4 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 Kids Cooking Co Still in Business?
No. Kids Cooking Co is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
