What Happened to Lumacoustics After Dragons’ Den?
Lumacoustics appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2010, Series 8 Episode 4. The business was an electronic graffiti wall. They secured investment from Peter Jones & Deborah Meaden on the show. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Tim Williams and Tom Hogan walked into the Den in 2010 with an electronic graffiti wall. 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. Peter Jones & Deborah Meaden offered £50,000 for 40%, and Tim Williams and Tom Hogan 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
Lumacoustics is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show in 2010, 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 Lumacoustics Still Available?
Yes. Yr Id Uk Limited appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
