Which former Dragon's Den investor was known for founding the online retailer Red Letter Days?

The story behind the answer

Rachel Elnaugh was known for founding the online retailer Red Letter Days.

Red Letter Days sold experience gifts, such as leisure and entertainment activities, through a mail-order and online business model. Elnaugh founded the company in 1989, and it became one of the most recognisable British experience-gift brands before encountering financial difficulties and entering administration in 2005.

Elnaugh was part of the original investor panel when Dragon's Den launched in Britain. Her experience made her a notable voice on branding, entrepreneurship and consumer businesses during the programme's early period.

The company should not be confused with Moonpig, the online greeting-card business founded by Nick Jenkins. Both are internet-based consumer brands, but they operate in different markets and were founded by different Dragons.
