Which Dragons' Den entrepreneur created the Stylfile curved nail-file system?

The story behind the answer

Tom Pellereau created the Stylfile curved nail-file system.

Pellereau is an inventor and product designer whose Stylfile range rethought the shape of the ordinary nail file. Its curved form was designed to follow the contour of a fingernail, making filing more controlled and convenient than using a conventional flat file.

He presented the idea on Dragons' Den and secured investment from Lord Sugar. The appearance helped establish Pellereau as one of the show’s notable product inventors, and Stylfile later developed into a broader range of nail-care products.

The product is sometimes confused with other successful inventions shown on the programme, especially Tangle Teezer and Reggae Reggae Sauce. Those businesses have different creators and categories. Tom Pellereau’s distinctive association is with the curved Stylfile, while his broader career includes designing and developing consumer products.
