Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to The Nuttery After Dragons’ Den?
The Nuttery appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2011, Series 9 Episode 9. The business was a bird feeding cage. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2018.
The Pitch
Julian Lipton walked into the Den in 2011 with a bird feeding cage. They were asking for £100,000 in exchange for 15% 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 Julian Lipton left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
The Nuttery did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2018, some 7 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 Nuttery Still in Business?
No. The Nuttery is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
