What Happened to myBunjee After Dragons’ Den?
myBunjee appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2012, Series 10 Episode 11. The business was a mobile phone case attachment to prevent phone from falling on the floor. They secured investment from Peter Jones on the show. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Mark Ferguson and Emma Jones walked into the Den in 2012 with a mobile phone case attachment to prevent phone from falling on the floor. They were asking for £70,000 in exchange for 35% of the business.
The pitch landed well enough in the Den that at least one Dragon decided to back it.
The Deal
A deal was struck on the show. Peter Jones offered £70,000 for 35%, and Mark Ferguson and Emma Jones accepted.
It’s worth noting that Dragons’ Den deals agreed on camera often go through further negotiation off-screen. Some complete as shown; others are renegotiated or never finalise at all. The company’s subsequent trading history is the clearest indicator of what actually happened.
What Happened After the Show
myBunjee is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2012, 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 myBunjee Still in Business?
