Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to WarmaHorn After Dragons’ Den?
WarmaHorn appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2011, Series 9 Episode 1. The business was a neoprene sleeve to keep brass instruments warm. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2014.
The Pitch
Alison Kedge walked into the Den in 2011 with a neoprene sleeve to keep brass instruments warm. They were asking for £50,000.
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 Alison Kedge left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
WarmaHorn did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2014, 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 WarmaHorn Still in Business?
No. WarmaHorn is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
