What Happened to Stolat After Dragons’ Den?
Stolat appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2009, Series 7 Episode 1. The business was a quadruple distilled 40% vodka. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Anna and Mark Jezierski walked into the Den in 2009 with a quadruple distilled 40% vodka. They were asking for £250,000.
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 Anna and Mark Jezierski left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Stolat is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2009, 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 Stolat Still in Business?
Yes. Stolat appears to still be trading.
