What Happened to Old Bond (later renamed as Kino-mo and HyperByn) After Dragons’ Den?

Old Bond (later renamed as Kino-mo and HyperByn) appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2012, Series 10 Episode 5. The business was a spinning, animated advertisement on bicycle wheels. They secured investment from Deborah Meaden and Theo Paphitis on the show. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Kiryl Chykeyuk and Art Stavenka walked into the Den in 2012 with a spinning, animated advertisement on bicycle wheels. They were asking for £90,000 in exchange for 40% 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. Deborah Meaden and Theo Paphitis offered £90,000 for 40%, and Kiryl Chykeyuk and Art Stavenka 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

Old Bond (later renamed as Kino-mo and HyperByn) is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show in 2012, the business has now been trading for over a decade — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.

Is Old Bond (later renamed as Kino-mo and HyperByn) Still Available?

Yes. Kino-mo Ltd appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
