Nitty Gritty Ltd appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2006, Series 3 Episode 1. The business was a detailed entertainment styled maps for cities. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2018.
The Pitch
Anneliese Pritchard walked into the Den in 2006 with a detailed entertainment styled maps for cities. They were asking for N/A.
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 Anneliese Pritchard left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Nitty Gritty Ltd did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2018, 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.

No. Nitty Gritty Guide Limited is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
