Rachel Lowe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rachel Lowe born in 1977, attended the University of Portsmouth in order to earn a law degree. As a student she had a part time job as a taxi driver which is when she came up with the idea of the board game Destination Portsmouth. She continued the idea Destination London, which is now one of the top selling games at Hamleys, beating Monopoly and Twister.[1]

She appeared on the BBC2 television show Dragon's Den in the UK where her pitch for investment was rejected. However, she believes the exposure was what enabled her to succeed with the board game, even though the investors on the show criticised her in a variety of ways.[2]
