Dragons’ Den Tracker

The Pitch

Chris Rose and Alex Baker walked into the Den in 2017 with a send things into near space - e.g. ashes for funeral service. They were asking for £130,000 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. Deborah Meaden offered £130,000 for 35%, and Chris Rose and Alex Baker 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

Sent Into Space is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2017, 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 Sent Into Space Still in Business?

Yes. Sent Into Space appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
