Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Myburgh Designs After Dragons’ Den?
Myburgh Designs appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2011, Series 9 Episode 5. The business was a garden copper furniture. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2019.
The Pitch
Steven Myburgh walked into the Den in 2011 with a garden copper furniture. They were asking for £70,000 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 Steven Myburgh left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Myburgh Designs did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2019, some 8 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 Myburgh Designs Still in Business?
No. Myburgh Designs is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
