In Dragon's Den, which entrepreneur founded the online wine retailer Naked Wines?

The story behind the answer

Rowan Gormley founded the online wine retailer Naked Wines.

Gormley created Naked Wines as an online wine business built around independent winemakers and customer funding. The company’s model connected customers with smaller producers and used membership-style support to help finance wine production.

Gormley later appeared as a dragon on the UK programme, joining the panel for a short period. His own entrepreneurial background differed from that of several retail-focused dragons because Naked Wines was fundamentally an internet-based business.

Naked Wines is sometimes confused with the broader Majestic Wine business because the two became connected through corporate ownership. The answer to this question is the founder associated with Naked Wines itself: Rowan Gormley, not the founders of other wine retailers or subscription companies.
