James Caan was delighted to be part of the latest series of Dragons' Den, which first aired on BBC2 October 2006.
“I
love investing in entrepreneurs, both on the show and through my
private equity firm Hamilton Bradshaw. I have been building and selling
businesses since 1985 and make a point of investing in people more than
products. I'm a great believer that it is people who create a
successful business through their passion and conviction.”
On an even more exciting note, his autobiography, The Real Deal,
is now available in good bookstores nationwide, and here on
Silksoundbooks – as an audio book download which he has chosen to read
himself.
“The whole experience of writing about my life has
been one of the most incredible things I have done, as it has enabled
me to step back and just consider everything life has thrown at me over
the past 47 years, from leaving home to the birth of my first child, to
selling my first company and ending up on the Den. There is plenty of
information about the deals I have done; how and why I made certain
decisions; what helped me get through certain family crisis', and how
dedication, family, ambition and a positive attitude has enabled me to
get where I am today.”
