What Happened to Nursem After Dragons’ Den?
Nursem appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2021, Series 18 Episode 1. The business was a skincare product for hands. They secured investment from Tej Lalvani on the show. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Antonia Philp and Jonny Philp walked into the Den in 2021 with a skincare product for hands. They were asking for £75,000 in exchange for 5% 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. Tej Lalvani offered £75,000 for 5% (3% as soon as investment is repaid), and Antonia Philp and Jonny Philp 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
Nursem is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. The company has now been trading for around 5 years since the pitch.
Is Nursem Still in Business?
Yes. Nursem appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
