Peter Jones was the first British investor to appear on both Dragon's Den and the US show Shark Tank.
Jones has been a Dragon on the British programme since its first series in 2005. He later appeared as a guest investor on Shark Tank, the American adaptation of the same broad entrepreneur-pitch format.
His business career includes interests in technology, media, telecommunications and retail. He is also associated with Peter Jones Television, which produced business-related programming.
The two shows are related but are not the same production. Dragon's Den is the British version, while Shark Tank uses a different panel and American format details. Jones's appearances connect the two franchises without making him a regular US panel member.
