What Happened to Mr Stripey After Dragons’ Den?
Mr Stripey appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2007, Series 5 Episode 8. The business was a six striped flavoured ice cream. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Jon Hemmings walked into the Den in 2007 with a six striped flavoured ice cream. They were asking for £60,000.
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 Jon Hemmings left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Mr Stripey is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2007, 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 Mr Stripey Still in Business?
Yes. Mr Stripey appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
