Dragons’ Den Season 19 Recap: Every Deal Worth Knowing

Season 19 aired across 2022–2022 and brought 59 businesses into the Den. By the time it wrapped, the dragons had made 28 deals and committed £990K on air. It is a clean snapshot of where the show, and the companies pitching it, stood that year.

The season's deal rate landed at 47%. That is down from 50% the prior season, a slightly tougher room for founders. Deal rates have climbed over the life of the show as the format matured and founders showed up better prepared, and Season 19 is one point on that line.

The defining deal of the season was Cheesegeek, which secured £150,000 for 7.5% from StevenBartlett. Every season has a pitch or two the dragons fight over, and the size of that top check is usually a fair proxy for how strong the season's crop of companies was.

By category, Season 19 leaned toward other, tech & software and liquor & alcohol, the three areas that sent the most founders into the Den that year. The mix shifts season to season and usually tracks whatever was hot in consumer products at the time, which makes each season a small time capsule of where founders were putting their energy.

The real measure of a season is what survives, and this one produced businesses that are still around. 59 Season 19 products are still actively selling today, several of them on Amazon, and they are highlighted below. Those survivors matter more than the on-air theatrics. They are the companies that were still standing years later.

Below you will find the season's biggest deals ranked by check size, plus the products from Season 19 you can still buy. For the full episode-by-episode breakdown of all 59 pitches, head to the season page. Figures reflect the deals as aired.
