Dragons’ Den Tracker

The Pitch

Matthias Luethi walked into the Den in 2010 with a collapsable silent wind turbine. They were asking for £150,000.

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 Matthias Luethi left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Life Science Services did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2010 — 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 Life Science Services Still in Business?

No. Life Science Services is no longer in business. Based on available records, the company is dissolved (2010).
