What Happened to Opus Innovations Ltd After Dragons’ Den?

Opus Innovations Ltd appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2011, Series 9 Episode 7. The business was a children's nasal accessories. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Orobola Lafe walked into the Den in 2011 with a children's nasal accessories. They were asking for £50,000 in exchange for 10% of the business.

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 Orobola Lafe left the Den without backing.
