What Happened to Super Knees After Dragons’ Den?

Super Knees appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2005, Series 2 Episode 1. The business was a strap on roller skates easing knee strain. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2006.

The Pitch

Stipan Saulich walked into the Den in 2005 with a strap on roller skates easing knee strain. 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 Stipan Saulich left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Super Knees did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2006 — just a year after appearing on the show.

This is not an unusual outcome. The majority of businesses that appear on Dragons’ Den, deal or no deal, don’t make it in the long run. The show can provide a platform and capital, but it can’t substitute for a sustainable business model.

Is Super Knees Still in Business?

No. Super Knees is no longer in business. Based on available records, the company is dissolved (2006).
