Money Tigers is the business negotiation show that inspired Britain's Dragon's Den.
Money Tigers was a Japanese television programme created by Nippon Television. Its format placed entrepreneurs before wealthy business people and asked them to seek funding for new ventures, establishing the basic structure later adapted in many countries.
The Japanese format was known internationally as Money Tigers, while the British edition adopted the title Dragon's Den. The distinction matters because the programme is often described broadly as being inspired by a Japanese reality show, without naming the original title.
Money Tigers is also linked to the wider international franchise commonly known as Dragons' Den or Shark Tank, depending on the country. These adaptations retain the central pitch-and-investment idea but use different panels, presenters and local business rules.
