Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Tipsy Feet After Dragons’ Den?
Tipsy Feet appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2007, Series 5 Episode 4. The business was a slippers storage bag designed to relieve heel pain. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was sold in 2012.
The Pitch
Helen Jones and Sancha Hopkins walked into the Den in 2007 with a slippers storage bag designed to relieve heel pain. They were asking for £60,000.
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 Helen Jones and Sancha Hopkins left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Tipsy Feet did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2012, some 5 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 Tipsy Feet Still Available?
No. Tipsy Productions Limited is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
