The Pitch
Aleksandar Tomic walked into the Den in 2011 with a theatrical portable wireless lights. They were asking for £80,000 in exchange for 25% of the business.
Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.

No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Aleksandar Tomic left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Philharmonic Lights did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2019, some 8 years after the pitch.
This is not an unusual outcome. The majority of businesses that appear on Dragons’ Den, deal or no deal, don’t make it in the long run. The show can provide a platform and capital, but it can’t substitute for a sustainable business model.
