What Happened to Soft Paws After Dragons’ Den?
Soft Paws appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2006, Series 3 Episode 3. The business was a paw protection for cats. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Peter To walked into the Den in 2006 with a paw protection for cats. 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 Peter To left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Soft Paws is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2006, 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 Soft Paws Still in Business?
Yes. Soft Paws appears to still be trading.
