What is the name of the BBC spin-off series in which former Dragon's Den businesses are revisited?
Answer
Where Are They Now?
Where Are They Now? is the BBC spin-off series that revisits former Dragon's Den businesses.
Where Are They Now? follows up on entrepreneurs and companies that appeared in Dragon's Den. The format lets viewers see what happened after a pitch, including whether an investment was completed, how a business developed and how founders responded when no deal was made.
The follow-up matters because an on-screen agreement is not the end of the investment process. Dragons and entrepreneurs may still need to complete due diligence and negotiate final terms. Some businesses grow after appearing without receiving investment, while others change direction or stop trading.
The title is sometimes paraphrased as “after the den” in casual discussion, but the BBC spin-off is titled Where Are They Now? It is distinct from the main pitch programme because its purpose is retrospective rather than introducing new proposals to the panel.
