What Happened to Little Belters After Dragons’ Den?
Little Belters appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2016, Series 14 Episode 5. The business was a singing tuition for children. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Tina and Claire O'Brien walked into the Den in 2016 with a singing tuition for children. They were asking for £45,000 in exchange for 15% 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 Tina and Claire O'Brien left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Little Belters is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show in 2016, the business has now been trading for over a decade — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.
Is Little Belters Still Available?
Yes. Little Belters appears to still be trading.
