Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Lost For Words! After Dragons’ Den?
Lost For Words! appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2012, Series 10 Episode 4. The business was a game show based on word definitions. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2017.
The Pitch
Chrystal Rose walked into the Den in 2012 with a game show based on word definitions. They were asking for £80,000 in exchange for 25% 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 Chrystal Rose left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Lost For Words! did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2017, some 5 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 Lost For Words! Still in Business?
No. Lost For Words! is no longer in business. Based on available records, the company is dissolved (2017).
