What Happened to Liberator Technology After Dragons’ Den?

Liberator Technology appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2015, Series 12 Episode 8. The business was a hybrid scooter bikes. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

John Wakefield-Smith walked into the Den in 2015 with a hybrid scooter bikes. They were asking for £100,000 in exchange for 50% 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 John Wakefield-Smith left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Liberator Technology is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2015, 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 Liberator Technology Still in Business?

Yes. Liberator Technology appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
