What Happened to Vertebrae After Dragons’ Den?
Vertebrae appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2025, Series 22 Episode 3. The business was a all-in-one bathroom solution. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Paul Hernan walked into the Den in 2025 with a all-in-one bathroom solution. They were asking for £100,000 in exchange for 10% of the business.
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 Paul Hernan left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Vertebrae is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. The company has now been trading for around 1 years since the pitch.
Is Vertebrae Still in Business?
Yes. Vertebrae appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
