What Happened to Splash Maps After Dragons’ Den?

Splash Maps appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2016, Series 14 Episode 2. The business was a clothing designed as maps. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

David Overton walked into the Den in 2016 with a clothing designed as maps. They were asking for £60,000 in exchange for 15% 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 David Overton left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Splash Maps is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2016, 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 Splash Maps Still in Business?

Yes. Splash Maps appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
