Every Guest Dragon Deal in Dragons’ Den History

For most of its run, Dragons’ Den has rotated guest investors through the fifth and sixth chairs. They are founders, athletes, and entrepreneurs who bring money and instincts the regular panel does not. Some of the show's most memorable deals belong to these guests, who often see value in a pitch precisely because they are looking through a different lens than the core dragons.

A guest dragon changes the room. They tend to be specialists, someone who built a beauty empire, or a food brand, or a tech company, and when a pitch lands in their exact wheelhouse they move faster and more decisively than a generalist would. Founders who happen to pitch in front of the right guest can land a deal a standing dragon might never have offered.

The flip side is timing. Guests are only there for a handful of episodes, so a guest-dragon deal is partly luck. The founders below happened to walk in on the right day, in front of the right outside investor, and turned that coincidence into a deal.

Here is every aired deal that included a guest dragon, ranked by the size of the commitment. Figures reflect the deals as broadcast.
