What Happened to Secured Sound After Dragons’ Den?

Secured Sound appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2005, Series 1 Episode 5. The business was a card reminder for doctors appointments. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2016.

The Pitch

Dr Kim Can (Anthony Kim) walked into the Den in 2005 with a card reminder for doctors appointments. 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 Dr Kim Can (Anthony Kim) left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Secured Sound did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2016, some 11 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 Secured Sound Still Available?

No. Solid Options Security Limited is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
