Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Mi Mam's Yorkshire pies After Dragons’ Den?
Mi Mam's Yorkshire pies appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2019, Series 16 Episode 13. The business was a artisan pie creations. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2024.
The Pitch
Rocky Arkwright walked into the Den in 2019 with a artisan pie creations. They were asking for £75,000 in exchange for 35% 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 Rocky Arkwright left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Mi Mam's Yorkshire pies did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2024, some 5 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 Mi Mam's Yorkshire pies Still Available?
No. Mi Mam's Food Company Limited is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
