Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to TailorMade After Dragons’ Den?
TailorMade appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2010, Series 8 Episode 9. The business was a 3d body-scanning for clothes measurements. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
John Buni walked into the Den in 2010 with a 3d body-scanning for clothes measurements. They were asking for £75,000 in exchange for 10% 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 John Buni left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
TailorMade is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2010, 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 TailorMade Still in Business?
Yes. TailorMade appears to still be trading.
