Books
Following the success of his previous book, Taming the Lion, Richard is releasing 2 new books which reveal what he learnt along his journey of being a start up investor, as well as detailing his incredible story.
Humble Stumbles
Richard Farleigh, familiar from Dragons’ Den, has an extraordinary story. Born into poverty and raised in the care system, he was once labelled “backward.” Yet he defied the odds, earning a university scholarship and rapidly rising in finance—managing trading desks before “retiring” at 34 to help launch over 120 startups. Along the way, he competed in two chess Olympiads, explored card counting, served as a university chancellor, was awarded a PhD, and authored the investment book Taming the Lion.
In Humble Stumbles, Farleigh shares life lessons, business strategies, and real-world insights with his trademark wit. Join him on an unforgettable journey through the highs, lows, and key learnings that have shaped his remarkable path.
