It also hosted networking events for entrepreneurs and investors.
So her reputation couldn't be higher at this point.
She was really becoming a media star.
She's doing interviews with all the big press outlets at the time, you know, The Guardian, The Financial Times, The Times, The Telegraph.
She would tell people how important, you know, attitude was and believing that you'd already made it.
Her advice to one person was, think like a billionaire.
The World Economic Forum named her as one of the 100s.
Global Leaders for Tomorrow, the Wall Street Journal also declared her as the 13th most influential businesswoman in Europe.
Her profile kept rising throughout the noughties until she appeared as a dragon on the online version of Dragon's Den in 2009.
So while she's on Dragon's Den, she's interested in a real range of companies.
So there's a company called Language Garden, which is an English teaching website.
There's a company called Family Fridge, which is a social networking website.
Wonderful.
There's also a 2010 World Cup final song.
In 2012, she's given an honorary doctorate by Warwick University.
Yeah, she's really credible to the point where she's actually awarded an MBE after being appointed an advisor of entrepreneurship to the then business secretary, Vince Cable.
She's one of the select few Americans to be awarded an MBE.
It's a very prestigious award and it gives her a lot of credibility.
So at Ariadne, there were some very, very bright people working there, very interesting people.
So I spoke to a woman called Rachel Lowe, who was very well regarded.
