In Dragon's Den, what is the name of the investment company founded by James Caan?

Hamilton Bradshaw is the investment company founded by James Caan, the former Dragon's Den investor.

Caan founded Hamilton Bradshaw in 2003 as a private-equity firm. Its activities have included investments in recruitment and other business services, reflecting Caan’s background in building and funding companies. He joined the Dragon's Den panel in 2007 and appeared as an investor for several series.

The name is sometimes confused with large global investment firms such as Blackstone or CVC Capital Partners. Those organisations are separate businesses and were not founded by Caan. Hamilton Bradshaw is the precise company linked to his entrepreneurial career.

Caan’s television role made private-equity terminology more familiar to general viewers, but the programme’s deals are usually negotiated with individual entrepreneurs rather than presented as conventional public-market investments. The company name therefore identifies Caan’s own investment platform, not a generic description of what a dragon does.
