Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Pi In the Sky After Dragons’ Den?
Pi In the Sky appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2006, Series 3 Episode 8. The business was a advertising via remote controlled air-ships. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2016.
The Pitch
Tara Dayer-Smith and Howard Letch walked into the Den in 2006 with a advertising via remote controlled air-ships. They were asking for £250,000.
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 Tara Dayer-Smith and Howard Letch left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Pi In the Sky did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2016, some 10 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.
Is Pi In the Sky Still in Business?
No. Pi In the Sky is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
