Dragons’ Den Tracker

The Pitch

Dominic Killinger walked into the Den in 2005 with a wireless broadband supplier to uk marinas. They were asking for £150,000 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. Theo Paphitis & Peter Jones offered £150,000 for 40% (38% if targets are hit), and Dominic Killinger 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

Square Mile was sold in 2008. An acquisition can signal very different things — sometimes it’s a strong exit for the founders, sometimes it’s a distressed sale to recover creditor debts. Without more specific information, the nature of the exit here isn’t clear.

Is Square Mile Still in Business?

Square Mile was sold in 2008. Whether the business continues to trade under new ownership is not publicly confirmed.
