What Happened to Play Five A Side Ltd After Dragons’ Den?

Play Five A Side Ltd appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2017, Series 15 Episode 1. The business was a sports pitch hire. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Nilesh Pandit walked into the Den in 2017 with a sports pitch hire. They were asking for £100,000 in exchange for 12.5% 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 Nilesh Pandit left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show
