Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Roton After Dragons’ Den?
Roton appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2005, Series 2 Episode 3. The business was a internal combustion aid for motors. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2011.
The Pitch
Kingsley Wright walked into the Den in 2005 with a internal combustion aid for motors. 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 Kingsley Wright left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Roton did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2011, some 6 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 Roton Still in Business?
No. Roton is no longer in business. Based on available records, the company is dissolved (2011).
