Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to The XtraHand After Dragons’ Den?
The XtraHand appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2023, Series 20 Episode 11. The business was a hands-free dust extraction tool. They secured investment from Peter Jones on the show. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Alan Gillett walked into the Den in 2023 with a hands-free dust extraction tool. They were asking for £40,000 in exchange for 25% of the business.
The pitch landed well enough in the Den that at least one Dragon decided to back it.
The Deal
A deal was struck on the show. Peter Jones offered £40,000 for 25%, and Alan Gillett accepted.
It’s worth noting that Dragons’ Den deals agreed on camera often go through further negotiation off-screen. Some complete as shown; others are renegotiated or never finalise at all. The company’s subsequent trading history is the clearest indicator of what actually happened.
What Happened After the Show
The XtraHand is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. The company has now been trading for around 3 years since the pitch.
Is The XtraHand Still in Business?
Yes. The XtraHand appears to still be trading.
