What Happened to UR-In The Paper After Dragons’ Den?

UR-In The Paper appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2006, Series 3 Episode 3. The business was a personalised tabloid newspaper covers. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2024.

The Pitch

Rebecca Philipson walked into the Den in 2006 with a personalised tabloid newspaper covers. 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 Rebecca Philipson left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

UR-In The Paper did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2024, some 18 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 UR-In The Paper Still in Business?

No. UR-In The Paper is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
