Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Puffin Box After Dragons’ Den?
Puffin Box appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2021, Series 18 Episode 4. The business was a socially distanced nightclub. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2022.
The Pitch
Natalie Lea and Katherine Warburton walked into the Den in 2021 with a socially distanced nightclub. They were asking for N/A.
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 Natalie Lea and Katherine Warburton left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Puffin Box did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2022 — 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 Puffin Box Still in Business?
No. Puffin Box is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
