Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to My Smart Remote After Dragons’ Den?
My Smart Remote appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2015, Series 13 Episode 5. The business was a car security device. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Dr Akhtar Khalil walked into the Den in 2015 with a car security device. They were asking for £200,000 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 Dr Akhtar Khalil left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
My Smart Remote is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2015, 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 My Smart Remote Still in Business?
Yes. My Smart Remote appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
