Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Skyrota After Dragons’ Den?
Skyrota appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2006, Series 3 Episode 8. The business was a energy production via wind turbine system. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was sold in 2009.
The Pitch
Richard Chadwick walked into the Den in 2006 with a energy production via wind turbine system. They were asking for £160,000 in exchange for 5% of the business.
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 Richard Chadwick left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Skyrota did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2009, only 3 years after the Den appearance.
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 Skyrota Still in Business?
No. Skyrota is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
