What Happened to Wype After Dragons’ Den?
Wype appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2022, Series 19 Episode 6. The business was a gel spray for toilet rolls. They secured investment from Touker Suleyman on the show. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Giorgia Granata and Eli Khrapko walked into the Den in 2022 with a gel spray for toilet rolls. They were asking for £50,000 in exchange for 15% of the business.
The pitch landed well enough in the Den that at least one Dragon decided to back it.
The Deal
A deal was struck on the show. Touker Suleyman offered £50,000 for 15%, and Giorgia Granata and Eli Khrapko accepted.
It’s worth noting that Dragons’ Den deals agreed on camera often go through further negotiation off-screen. Some complete as shown; others are renegotiated or never finalise at all. The company’s subsequent trading history is the clearest indicator of what actually happened.
What Happened After the Show
Wype is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. The company has now been trading for around 4 years since the pitch.
Is Wype Still in Business?
Yes. Wype appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
