Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to The Defender After Dragons’ Den?
The Defender appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2010, Series 8 Episode 10. The business was a security tracking device for cars. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Carl Myer walked into the Den in 2010 with a security tracking device for cars. They were asking for £100,000.
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 Carl Myer left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
The Defender 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 The Defender Still in Business?
Yes. The Defender appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
