What Happened to Tennis Is Mental After Dragons’ Den?
Tennis Is Mental appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2005, Series 2 Episode 2. The business was a psychology book for tennis players. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Steven Renwick walked into the Den in 2005 with a psychology book for tennis players. 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 Steven Renwick left the Den without backing.
