James Caan founded the private-equity firm Hamilton Bradshaw.
Caan established Hamilton Bradshaw in 2003. The firm focused on private-equity investment, particularly backing and developing businesses, and became one of the main ventures associated with Caan's career as an entrepreneur and investor.
He joined the BBC's Dragons' Den panel in 2007 and became known for considering pitches through the lens of business growth, management and investment potential. His time on the programme brought his private-equity background to a wide television audience.
Hamilton Bradshaw is not the same as Caan's recruitment businesses, including Alexander Mann Solutions. Those ventures are part of his wider business history, but Hamilton Bradshaw is the specific private-equity firm he founded.
