What Happened to Tidy Tower After Dragons’ Den?
Tidy Tower appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2006, Series 3 Episode 3. The business was a fold away tidying unit for toys. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2009.
The Pitch
Simon Baldwin walked into the Den in 2006 with a fold away tidying unit for toys. They were asking for £100,000.
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 Baldwin left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Tidy Tower did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2009, only 3 years after the Den appearance.
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 Tidy Tower Still in Business?
No. Tidy Tower is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
