What Happened to TickX After Dragons’ Den?

TickX appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2017, Series 14 Episode 9. The business was a price comparison website. They secured investment from Touker Suleyman, Peter Jones and Nick Jenkins on the show. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Sam Coley and Steve Pearce walked into the Den in 2017 with a price comparison website. They were asking for £75,000 in exchange for 15% 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. Touker Suleyman, Peter Jones and Nick Jenkins offered £75,000 for 15% / 20, and Sam Coley and Steve Pearce 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

TickX is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2017, 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 TickX Still in Business?

Yes. TickX appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
