Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to The Detective Society After Dragons’ Den?
The Detective Society appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2022, Series 19 Episode 10. The business was a mystery puzzle games. They secured investment from Deborah Meaden and Sara Davies on the show. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Daniel Wiseman and Joseph Mills walked into the Den in 2022 with a mystery puzzle games. They were asking for £75,000 in exchange for 25% of the business.
The pitch landed well enough in the Den that at least one Dragon decided to back it.
The Deal
A deal was struck on the show. Deborah Meaden and Sara Davies offered £75,000 for 25%, and Daniel Wiseman and Joseph Mills accepted.
It’s worth noting that Dragons’ Den deals agreed on camera often go through further negotiation off-screen. Some complete as shown; others are renegotiated or never finalise at all. The company’s subsequent trading history is the clearest indicator of what actually happened.
What Happened After the Show
The Detective Society is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. The company has now been trading for around 4 years since the pitch.
Is The Detective Society Still in Business?
Yes. The Detective Society appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
