Steven Bartlett was the youngest Dragon when he joined the British Dragon's Den panel in 2022.
Bartlett is a British entrepreneur, author and podcaster. He co-founded Social Chain, a social-media marketing agency, and became known for discussing entrepreneurship and business through The Diary of a CEO podcast.
He joined Dragon's Den for the programme's nineteenth series, replacing Tej Lalvani. His appointment brought a younger technology and digital-media perspective to the panel, alongside established investors such as Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden and Touker Suleyman.
Age records can be confused because Dragon's Den has had many investors over its history, and the panel has changed repeatedly. The specific distinction here concerns the youngest investor at the time Bartlett joined the regular British panel, not the youngest entrepreneur ever to pitch.
