What Happened to Pro Slope After Dragons’ Den?

Pro Slope appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2011, Series 9 Episode 4. The business was a artificial ski-matting business. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2023.

The Pitch

Chris O'Connell walked into the Den in 2011 with a artificial ski-matting business. They were asking for £75,000.

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 Chris O'Connell left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Pro Slope did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2023, some 12 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 Pro Slope Still in Business?

No. Pro Slope is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
