Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to The Rovernighter After Dragons’ Den?
The Rovernighter appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2016, Series 14 Episode 8. The business was a travelling bed cot for dogs. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Ruth Lucas walked into the Den in 2016 with a travelling bed cot for dogs. They were asking for £75,000 in exchange for 20% 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 Ruth Lucas left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
The Rovernighter is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2016, 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 Rovernighter Still in Business?
Yes. The Rovernighter appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
