Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to WeQ4U After Dragons’ Den?
WeQ4U appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2012, Series 10 Episode 7. The business was a app setting callbacks from call centres reducing waiting times. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2021.
The Pitch
Matt King walked into the Den in 2012 with a app setting callbacks from call centres reducing waiting times. They were asking for £150,000 in exchange for 1% 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 Matt King left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
WeQ4U did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2021, some 9 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 WeQ4U Still in Business?
No. WeQ4U is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
