Touker Suleyman first became a dragon in series 13 of the UK television series Dragon's Den.
Suleyman joined the programme as an investor in 2015, when the thirteenth series aired. He is a British-Cypriot entrepreneur and investor whose business interests include fashion and retail. His commercial background gave the panel experience in areas such as clothing, manufacturing and consumer products.
The series number matters because Dragon's Den has had many investor changes. Suleyman’s debut came after several original dragons had already left or rotated out, but before later additions such as Steven Bartlett. His presence helped maintain the programme’s pattern of combining experienced investors from different industries.
Touker Suleyman should not be confused with Tej Lalvani, another investor who joined much later. The two appeared in different stages of the programme’s history, and their arrival series are distinct.
