Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to The Dooup After Dragons’ Den?
The Dooup appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2014, Series 11 Episode 7. The business was a device clearing dog waste. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Stuart Kirby and Helen Morris walked into the Den in 2014 with a device clearing dog waste. They were asking for £70,000 in exchange for 7% of the business.
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 Stuart Kirby and Helen Morris left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
