A Dragons’ Den-style competition launched by disgraced former prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is to be dissolved within days.
Pitch@Palace was launched in 2014 and described as an accelerator and incubator. It held events around the country where founders would pitch for investment, with some of them then selected to pitch investors at St. James’s Palace.
UK operations were suspended in 2019 and later dissolved. However despite the growing scandal around Andrew and his affiliation with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, Pitch@Palace Global remained open.
Andrew, now stripped of his royal titles and income, was said to be attempting to sell the international operation – but interested party Dutch company Startup Bootcamp pulled out last year.
According to reports, almost all of the £220,990 cash it held in its accounts in March 2024 had been withdrawn 12 months later.
Documents to dissolve its international branch have been filed with Companies House, and will become active on 3rd February.
