Tycoon - Elizabeth
I thought i wouldn’t like Peter Jones Tycoon on ITV1 but i must admit, it was quite interesting. So i thought i would profile each member over the next week so when i blog on them again you will know who im on about!
Firstly Tycoon is with Phones International Peter Jones from Dragons Den, he has been doing quite a bit of TV lately with The Inventor in the USA. Tycoon is 7 people with 6 products, they must keep winning investment from Peter Jones as the weeks go by to launch their product and make money, with one team winning to become the next Tycoon.
There really is a mix of people and Elizabeth i would say is the posh one with all the PMA talk (thats Positive Mental Attitude) but does come across as very nervous and in-experienced. She really does seem out of her depth.
Age: 35
Home: London

Product
A natural fruit and alcoholic drink for women.
My dream
Fill a gap in the market for 20-something women who are looking for a more refreshing, more sophisticated pre-mixed alcoholic drink.
Video Profile
“I’ve got so much at stake. I’ve given up a £60k job and share options, and I could lose my flat.”
How the idea came about
Last year, I was working with some colleagues and we ascertained there is a gap in the market for a more sophisticated alcopop (although I don’t want to call my drink an alcopop). Since then, I have developed the product significantly and have come up with various fruit juice and vodka formulas
Why I am on Tycoon
I have wanted to an entrepreneur specifically since the year 2000. But all my life, I have wanted to do something really big. When I was 13, I wrote an orchestral overture. I know I’m going to be a big hit as an entrepreneur and be at the top of my profession. I want recognition because I put in so much effort into my first venture; a film magazine, which failed. This time, I am in my groove and I will rise to the top. I am sure of that.
Conclusion - At the end of the 1st show, she came up with several jank names that Peter ripped into her about and then tried to shut her company down! She begged for another chance and the show was left with Peter saying he would think about it!!!
