Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Mansized After Dragons’ Den?
Mansized appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2007, Series 4 Episode 5. The business was a web based men's health magazine. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2016.
The Pitch
Will Callaghan walked into the Den in 2007 with a web based men's health magazine. 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 Will Callaghan left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Mansized did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2016, some 9 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 Mansized Still in Business?
No. Mansized is no longer in business. Based on available records, the company is dissolved (2016).
