In the BBC series Dragons' Den, which investor founded Amstrad?

In the BBC series Dragons' Den, Alan Sugar was the investor who founded Amstrad.

Sugar established Amstrad in 1968, initially using a name derived from his own initials and the word “trading.” The company became known for consumer electronics, including affordable hi-fi equipment, satellite television products and home computers.

Sugar appeared as a Dragon during the programme's early years, bringing the perspective of a founder who had built a major technology and electronics business. His direct questioning and blunt negotiating style became a recognisable part of the original panel.

Amstrad is often associated with the Amstrad CPC home-computer range, launched in the 1980s. Sugar later sold Amstrad to BSkyB in 2007, ending its life as an independent public company.
