Which entrepreneur is known as the Reggae Reggae Sauce founder after appearing on BBC's Dragon's Den?

The story behind the answer

Levi Roots is the entrepreneur known as the founder of Reggae Reggae Sauce after appearing on BBC's Dragon's Den.

Roots, whose real name is Keith Valentine Graham, presented his Caribbean-style sauce on the programme and secured investment from Peter Jones and Richard Farleigh. The pitch helped turn the product from a market-stall idea into a widely recognised commercial brand.

Levi Roots is also a musician, and his stage name became closely associated with the sauce business. His appearance is one of the programme's most widely remembered success stories because it combined a distinctive product, a strong personal brand and a clear route to retail growth.

The business later expanded beyond its original sauce into other food products. The television appearance did not create the recipe itself; Roots had already developed and sold the product before pitching it to the dragons.
