What Happened to Sawsafe After Dragons’ Den?

Sawsafe appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2012, Series 10 Episode 3. The business was a safety device for use of saws. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2010.

The Pitch

Trevor Joy walked into the Den in 2012 with a safety device for use of saws. They were asking for £80,000.

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 Trevor Joy left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Sawsafe did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2010 — 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 Sawsafe Still in Business?

No. Sawsafe is no longer in business. Based on available records, the company is dissolved (2010).
