What Happened to Proppa After Dragons’ Den?

Proppa appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2010, Series 8 Episode 9. The business was a website that sells vehicle accessories. They secured investment from Duncan Bannatyne on the show. The company was dissolved in 2014.

The Pitch

Adam Weaver walked into the Den in 2010 with a website that sells vehicle accessories. They were asking for £50,000 in exchange for 20% of the business.

The pitch landed well enough in the Den that at least one Dragon decided to back it.

The Deal

A deal was struck on the show. Duncan Bannatyne offered £50,000 for 20%, and Adam Weaver accepted.

It’s worth noting that Dragons’ Den deals agreed on camera often go through further negotiation off-screen. Some complete as shown; others are renegotiated or never finalise at all. The company’s subsequent trading history is the clearest indicator of what actually happened.

What Happened After the Show

Proppa did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2014, some 4 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 Proppa Still in Business?

No. Proppa is no longer in business. Based on available records, the company is dissolved (2014).
