Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Sockitz After Dragons’ Den?
Sockitz appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2019, Series 17 Episode 6. The business was a electrical protection shields. They secured investment from Deborah Meaden and Theo Paphitis on the show. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Richard Brook walked into the Den in 2019 with a electrical protection shields. They were asking for £100,000 in exchange for 40% 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 and Theo Paphitis offered £100,000 for 40% (Equity reduces to 20% each when investment is paid back.), and Richard Brook 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
Sockitz 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 Sockitz Still in Business?
Yes. Sockitz appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
