What Happened to Lemuro After Dragons’ Den?
Lemuro appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2020, Series 17 Episode 12. The business was a phone camera lenses. They secured investment from Deborah Meaden on the show. The company was dissolved in 2020.
The Pitch
Eric and Hugo Bohring walked into the Den in 2020 with a phone camera lenses. They were asking for £75,000 in exchange for 25% 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 £75,000 for 25%, and Eric and Hugo Bohring 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
Lemuro did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2020 — 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 Lemuro Still in Business?
No. Lemuro is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
