What Happened to The Smoody Pod After Dragons’ Den?
The Smoody Pod appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2005, Series 2 Episode 2. The business was a blender for smoothies. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Prince Tikare walked into the Den in 2005 with a blender for smoothies. They were asking for N/A.
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 Prince Tikare left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
The Smoody Pod is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2005, 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 Smoody Pod Still in Business?
Yes. The Smoody Pod appears to still be trading.
