Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to The Daddy After Dragons’ Den?
The Daddy appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2012, Series 10 Episode 7. The business was a dust and debris eliminator. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2017.
The Pitch
Joanna and Dean Barnes walked into the Den in 2012 with a dust and debris eliminator. 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 Joanna and Dean Barnes left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
The Daddy did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2017, some 5 years after the pitch.
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 The Daddy Still in Business?
No. The Daddy is no longer in business. Based on available records, the company is dissolved (2017).
