Piers Linney joined Dragons' Den in 2013 after building technology and investment businesses.
Linney is a British entrepreneur and investor whose career has included technology, communications and private-equity interests. He became known for working with growing companies and for focusing on entrepreneurs from a wide range of backgrounds. His business experience covered both investing in companies and helping them develop commercially.
He joined Dragons' Den in 2013. During his time on the programme, he assessed proposals involving technology, online services, consumer products and other early-stage ventures. His presence reflected the show's continuing effort to include investors with experience in modern, digitally enabled businesses.
Linney should not be confused with Nick Jenkins, who also joined the programme in 2015 and founded Funky Pigeon. Nor is he one of the original 2005 dragons. As with every on-screen deal, an offer made during filming could still depend on further checks before completion.
