What Happened to Kohl Creatives After Dragons’ Den?

Kohl Creatives appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2020, Series 17 Episode 9. The business was a ergonomic make-up brushes. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2023.

The Pitch

Trish Daswaney walked into the Den in 2020 with a ergonomic make-up brushes. They were asking for £60,000 in exchange for 20% 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 Trish Daswaney left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Kohl Creatives did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2023, only 3 years after the Den appearance.

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 Kohl Creatives Still in Business?

No. Kohl Creatives is no longer in business. Based on available records, the company is dissolved (2023).
