What Happened to Lost my Name After Dragons’ Den?
Lost my Name appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2014, Series 12 Episode 2. The business was a personalised children's books. They secured investment from Piers Linney on the show. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Asi Sharabi and David Cadji-Newby walked into the Den in 2014 with a personalised children's books. They were asking for £100,000 in exchange for 5% 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. Piers Linney offered £100,000 for 5%, and Asi Sharabi and David Cadji-Newby 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
Lost my Name is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2014, 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 Lost my Name Still in Business?
Yes. Lost my Name appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
