Piers Linney joined the UK version of Dragon's Den in 2013 after co-founding cloud-computing company Outsourcery.
Linney is a British entrepreneur whose technology career included Outsourcery, a company providing cloud-based communications and computing services. The business was founded with entrepreneur Nigel Waller and became a notable part of Linney's public profile.
He joined Dragon's Den for the programme's eleventh series, which aired in 2013. His expertise gave the panel a Dragon associated particularly with technology, communications and small-business growth.
Outsourcery should not be confused with generic outsourcing firms. Its name and business model were connected to hosted and cloud services, an increasingly important area for businesses during the 2010s. Linney later became involved in campaigns supporting entrepreneurship and diversity in business.
