What Happened to Yee Kwan After Dragons’ Den?

Yee Kwan appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2015, Series 12 Episode 10. The business was a east asian ice cream and sorbet company. They secured investment from Deborah Meaden on the show. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Yee Kwan Chan walked into the Den in 2015 with a east asian ice cream and sorbet company. They were asking for £50,000 in exchange for 30% 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. Deborah Meaden offered £50,000 for 30%, and Yee Kwan Chan 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

Yee Kwan is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2015, the company has now been trading for well over a decade — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.

Is Yee Kwan Still in Business?

Yes. Yee Kwan appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
