What Happened to Teddy Tennis After Dragons’ Den?

Teddy Tennis appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2007, Series 4 Episode 3. The business was a tennis training academy for children. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Richard and Steven Bean walked into the Den in 2007 with a tennis training academy for children. They were asking for £80,000.

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 Richard and Steven Bean left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Teddy Tennis is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2007, 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 Teddy Tennis Still in Business?

Yes. Teddy Tennis appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
