Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Ocushield After Dragons’ Den?
Ocushield appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2021, Series 18 Episode 13. The business was a blue light filtering product for mobile phones. They secured investment from Peter Jones and Tej Lalvani on the show. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Assad Hamir and Dhruvin Patel walked into the Den in 2021 with a blue light filtering product for mobile phones. They were asking for £75,000 in exchange for 15% 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. Peter Jones and Tej Lalvani offered £75,000 for 15%, and Assad Hamir and Dhruvin Patel 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
Ocushield is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. The company has now been trading for around 5 years since the pitch.
Is Ocushield Still in Business?
Yes. Ocushield appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
