The Sci- Tie appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2017, Series 14 Episode 11. The business was a biodegradable cable ties. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2021.
The Pitch
Simon Moore walked into the Den in 2017 with a biodegradable cable ties. They were asking for £80,000 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 Simon Moore left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
The Sci- Tie did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2021, some 4 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 Sci- Tie Still Available?
No. Sci-tie Ltd is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
