Series 13 introduced Touker Suleyman as an investor on BBC's Dragon's Den. The British-Turkish-Cypriot entrepreneur joined the programme during a period of substantial panel turnover.
Suleyman is known for building businesses in fashion and retail, including the acquisition and development of brands. His commercial experience gave him a particular interest in products, supply chains, manufacturing and consumer markets when assessing pitches.
Dragon's Den regularly changes its panel, so a dragon's first series is an important chronological fact. Series 13 followed earlier eras associated with investors such as Peter Jones, Duncan Bannatyne and Deborah Meaden, while adding newer business figures to the line-up.
This question refers to Suleyman's debut as a regular investor on the British BBC programme. It should not be confused with his later appearances, individual deals, or investment activity outside television.
