What Happened to Loop Machine After Dragons’ Den?

Loop Machine appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2008, Series 6 Episode 5. The business was a music creation software operated by the nintendo wii. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2020.

The Pitch

Yann Seznec walked into the Den in 2008 with a music creation software operated by the nintendo wii. 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 Yann Seznec left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Loop Machine did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2020, some 12 years after the pitch.

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 Loop Machine Still in Business?

No. Loop Machine is no longer in business. Based on available records, the company is dissolved (2020).
