Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Park Life After Dragons’ Den?
Park Life appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2024, Series 21 Episode 9. The business was a frisby style dog-biscuits. They secured investment from Peter Jones and Touker Suleyman on the show. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Richard Marles walked into the Den in 2024 with a frisby style dog-biscuits. They were asking for £150,000 in exchange for 30% 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 Touker Suleyman offered £150,000 for 30% / 20, and Richard Marles 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
Park Life is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. The company has now been trading for around 2 years since the pitch.
Is Park Life Still in Business?
Yes. Park Life appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
