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 Ltd is no longer in business. Based on available records, the company is dissolved (2018).
