What Happened to Lupo After Dragons’ Den?
Lupo appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2017, Series 14 Episode 10. The business was a bluetooth finder and tracker. They secured investment from Peter Jones on the show. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Vincenz Clemt and Raj Sark walked into the Den in 2017 with a bluetooth finder and tracker. They were asking for £100,000 in exchange for 30% 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 offered £100,000 for 30%, and Vincenz Clemt and Raj Sark 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
Lupo is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show in 2017, 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 Lupo Still Available?
Yes. Connect-in Ltd appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
