What Happened to Tabuu After Dragons’ Den?
Tabuu appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2023, Series 20 Episode 1. The business was a portable case for medication tablets. They secured investment from Sara Davies, Peter Jones and Touker Suleyman on the show. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Lucy Rout walked into the Den in 2023 with a portable case for medication tablets. They were asking for £50,000 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. Sara Davies, Peter Jones and Touker Suleyman offered £50,000 for 40%, and Lucy Rout 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
Tabuu is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. The company has now been trading for around 3 years since the pitch.
Is Tabuu Still in Business?
Yes. Tabuu appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
