Money Tigers was the original English title of the Japanese business-investment format adapted as Dragon's Den. The Japanese programme was known as Money no Tora and supplied the basic pitch-and-investment structure.
Entrepreneurs present business ideas to wealthy investors, who question the proposal and decide whether to offer money in exchange for equity. Different countries adapted the format under different titles, including Dragon's Den and Shark Tank.
The title Money Tigers is easy to confuse with the later international names because both refer to powerful investors. It is also distinct from the UK programme's title: Dragon's Den is the British adaptation, while Money Tigers identifies the original format.
