Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Noah's Arc Factory After Dragons’ Den?
Noah's Arc Factory appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2007, Series 5 Episode 7. The business was a portable soft toy stuffing machine. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2010.
The Pitch
Tanya Thomas walked into the Den in 2007 with a portable soft toy stuffing machine. They were asking for £120,000.
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 Tanya Thomas left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Noah's Arc Factory did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2010, only 3 years after the Den appearance.
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 Noah's Arc Factory Still in Business?
No. Noah's Arc Factory is no longer in business. Based on available records, the company is dissolved (2010).
