Doug Richard is a United Kingdom-based Californian entrepreneur and technology specialist who shot to prominence as a result of the BBC programme Dragons' Den, where he appeared as a "dragon", or investor. He is marked from the other investors on the programme by a straightforward, no-nonsense style, and also by his education credentials, which include a Juris Doctor from the University of California, Los Angeles and a B.A. in Psychology from the University of California, Berkeley.

Richard is the founder and executive Chairman of Library House, an investment research and consulting firm based in Cambridge and co-founder of Hotxt — a new mobile startup offering unlimited texting. Before this, he was founder or CEO of three different prominent technology companies.

In May 2006, he received the Queen's Award for Enterprise for his work promoting, developing, and helping entrepreneurs. He is the first American to receive the honour.
