Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Linkee After Dragons’ Den?
Linkee appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2013, Series 11 Episode 3. The business was a quiz style board game linking questions together to form the answer.. They secured investment from Duncan Bannatyne on the show. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Tristan Williams, Ben Drummond and Dean Tempest walked into the Den in 2013 with a quiz style board game linking questions together to form the answer.. They were asking for £50,000 in exchange for 40% 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. Duncan Bannatyne offered £50,000 for 40%, and Tristan Williams, Ben Drummond and Dean Tempest 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
Linkee is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2013, 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 Linkee Still in Business?
