Rokka Play appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2012, Series 10 Episode 7. The business was a wooden toys. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2016.
The Pitch
Samantha Spake and Vanessa Harris walked into the Den in 2012 with a wooden toys. 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 Samantha Spake and Vanessa Harris left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Rokka Play did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2016, 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.
