What Happened to Monkey Trunks After Dragons’ Den?

Monkey Trunks appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2008, Series 6 Episode 3. The business was a us based adventure park. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2020.

The Pitch

Hazel Ives walked into the Den in 2008 with a us based adventure park. They were asking for £100,000 in exchange for 20% 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 Hazel Ives left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Monkey Trunks did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2020, some 12 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 Monkey Trunks Still in Business?

No. Monkey Trunks is no longer in business. Based on available records, the company is dissolved (2020).
