Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Mamka After Dragons’ Den?
Mamka appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2012, Series 10 Episode 3. The business was a online retail. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2016.
The Pitch
Matthew Conridge walked into the Den in 2012 with a online retail. They were asking for £200,000 in exchange for 10% 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 Matthew Conridge left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Mamka did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2016, some 4 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 Mamka Still in Business?
No. Mamka is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
