Dragons’ Den Tracker

The Pitch

Deepak Tailor walked into the Den in 2016 with a free sample website. They were asking for £50,000 in exchange for 10% of the business.

The pitch landed well enough in the Den that at least one Dragon decided to back it.

The Deal

A deal was struck on the show. Deborah Meaden offered £50,000 for 10%, and Deepak Tailor accepted.

It’s worth noting that Dragons’ Den deals agreed on camera often go through further negotiation off-screen. Some complete as shown; others are renegotiated or never finalise at all. The company’s subsequent trading history is the clearest indicator of what actually happened.

What Happened After the Show

Latest Free Stuff is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2016, the company has now been trading for well over a decade — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.

Is Latest Free Stuff Still in Business?

Yes. Latest Free Stuff appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
