What Happened to Saboteur Crime Prevention After Dragons’ Den?

Saboteur Crime Prevention appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2008, Series 6 Episode 2. The business was a electronic vision and sound projection devices. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2013.

The Pitch

Samantha Gore walked into the Den in 2008 with a electronic vision and sound projection devices. They were asking for £275,000 in exchange for 10% 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 Samantha Gore left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Saboteur Crime Prevention did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2013, some 5 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 Saboteur Crime Prevention Still in Business?

No. Saboteur Crime Prevention is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
