Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Mini You After Dragons’ Den?
Mini You appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2016, Series 14 Episode 3. The business was a personalised model statues made using 3d-printing. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Sylvain Preumont walked into the Den in 2016 with a personalised model statues made using 3d-printing. They were asking for £80,000 in exchange for 15% 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 Sylvain Preumont left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Mini You is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2016, the company has now been trading for well over a decade — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.
Is Mini You Still in Business?
Yes. Mini You appears to still be trading.
