Dragons’ Den Tracker

The Pitch

Daniel Pawson walked into the Den in 2019 with a salmon skin crisps. They were asking for £30,000 in exchange for 35% of the business.

The pitch landed well enough in the Den that at least one Dragon decided to back it.

The Deal

A deal was struck on the show. Touker Suleyman offered £30,000 for 35%, and Daniel Pawson accepted.

It’s worth noting that Dragons’ Den deals agreed on camera often go through further negotiation off-screen. Some complete as shown; others are renegotiated or never finalise at all. The company’s subsequent trading history is the clearest indicator of what actually happened.

What Happened After the Show

Sea Chips is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2019, 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 Sea Chips Still in Business?

Yes. Sea Chips appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
