Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to WellGel London After Dragons’ Den?
WellGel London appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2016, Series 14 Episode 7. The business was a chemical-free gel nail solution. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2018.
The Pitch
Mustafa Mehmet walked into the Den in 2016 with a chemical-free gel nail solution. They were asking for £70,000 in exchange for 35% 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 Mustafa Mehmet left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
WellGel London did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2018, only 2 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 WellGel London Still Available?
No. Wellgellondon Limited is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
