Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Zippity Duvet After Dragons’ Den?
Zippity Duvet appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2006, Series 3 Episode 6. The business was a foldable and portable carriage for duvets. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2014.
The Pitch
Nicola Carter walked into the Den in 2006 with a foldable and portable carriage for duvets. They were asking for N/A.
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 Nicola Carter left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Zippity Duvet did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2014, some 8 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 Zippity Duvet Still in Business?
No. Zippity Duvet is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
