The Pitch

Marco Hajikypri walked into the Den in 2016 with a nutrition meals for bodybuilders and athletes. They were asking for £125,000 in exchange for 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 Marco Hajikypri left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Pro Gains did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2017 — just a year after appearing on the show.

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 Pro Gains Still in Business?

No. Pro Gains is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company is in liquidation.
