Series 15 of BBC Two’s Dragons' Den is almost here. The show takes everyday inventors, designers, creators or entrepreneurs and sees them pitching their innovative business ideas to a panel of successful investors. These investors are more commonly known as the Dragons.
If they manage to deliver a great pitch, handle the tough interrogation from the Dragons and keep their cool under the enormous pressure, they may just get an investment for a percentage stake in their business.

The new series introduces two brand new Dragons; Jenny Campbell and Tej Lalvani.
Jenny Campbell

Some things never change
Even with the fresh input of Jenny and Tej, there’s one thing we can be certain of: if there’s any doubt over the ownership of your intellectual property, expect a fiery grilling from all of the Dragons.
