Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Manmower After Dragons’ Den?
Manmower appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2021, Series 18 Episode 2. The business was a grooming aid for beards with design based on lawn-mowers. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2021.
The Pitch
Tim Mount walked into the Den in 2021 with a grooming aid for beards with design based on lawn-mowers. They were asking for N/A.
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 Tim Mount left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Manmower did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2021 — just a year after appearing on the show.
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 Manmower Still Available?
No. Barbarismo Limited is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
