What Happened to Lingotot After Dragons’ Den?
Lingotot appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2017, Series 14 Episode 13. The business was a language classes for children. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Angela Sterling walked into the Den in 2017 with a language classes for children. They were asking for £50,000 in exchange for 10% 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 Angela Sterling left the Den without backing.
