Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Skinny Dip After Dragons’ Den?
Skinny Dip appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2012, Series 10 Episode 1. The business was a fashion technology accessories. They secured investment from Peter Jones on the show. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Lewis Blitz, James Gold and Richard Gold walked into the Den in 2012 with a fashion technology accessories. They were asking for £120,000 in exchange for 30% 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. Peter Jones offered £120,000 for 30% (25% when investment repaid), and Lewis Blitz, James Gold and Richard Gold 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
Skinny Dip is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show in 2012, the business has now been trading for over a decade — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.
Is Skinny Dip Still Available?
Yes. Skinnydip Limited appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
