What Happened to Pasta Evangelists After Dragons’ Den?

Pasta Evangelists appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2018, Series 16 Episode 3. The business was a fresh pasta delivery service. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was sold in 2021.

The Pitch

Alex Savelli and Finn Lagun walked into the Den in 2018 with a fresh pasta delivery service. They were asking for £75,000 in exchange for 2.5% 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 Alex Savelli and Finn Lagun left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Pasta Evangelists was sold in 2021. An acquisition can signal very different things — sometimes it’s a strong exit for the founders, sometimes it’s a distressed sale to recover creditor debts. Without more specific information, the nature of the exit here isn’t clear.

Is Pasta Evangelists Still in Business?

Pasta Evangelists was sold in 2021. Whether the business continues to trade under new ownership is not publicly confirmed.
