What Happened to Matey Measure After Dragons’ Den?
Matey Measure appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2023, Series 20 Episode 9. The business was a aid for tape measure accuracy. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Steve Capon and Mark Sheahan walked into the Den in 2023 with a aid for tape measure accuracy. They were asking for £80,000 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 Steve Capon and Mark Sheahan left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Matey Measure is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. The business has now been trading for around 7 years since the pitch.
Is Matey Measure Still Available?
Yes. Invent & Create Ltd appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
