Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Wooju After Dragons’ Den?
Wooju appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2016, Series 13 Episode 14. The business was a smartphone app for taking pictures. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2016.
The Pitch
Calum Leslie walked into the Den in 2016 with a smartphone app for taking pictures. They were asking for £75,000 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 Calum Leslie left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Wooju did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2016 — just a year after appearing on the show.
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 Wooju Still in Business?
No. Wooju is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
