Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Retro-mixer After Dragons’ Den?
Retro-mixer appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2016, Series 14 Episode 7. The business was a adapter combining separate taps. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Artur Napiorkowski and Denny Schenk walked into the Den in 2016 with a adapter combining separate taps. They were asking for £45,000 in exchange for 15% 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 Artur Napiorkowski and Denny Schenk left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Retro-mixer is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2016, the company has now been trading for well over a decade — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.
Is Retro-mixer Still in Business?
Yes. Retro-mixer appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
