Steven Bartlett debuted as a Dragon on the UK television show Dragon's Den in 2022.
Bartlett joined the panel for the twentieth series, becoming one of the programme's youngest-ever Dragons. He was already known as the co-founder of Social Chain, a social-media marketing company, and as the host of The Diary of a CEO podcast. His appointment reflected the show's continuing effort to add investors with experience in digital businesses and online media.
Bartlett appeared alongside established Dragons including Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden, Touker Suleyman, and Sara Davies. His technology and media background gave the panel a perspective different from that of Dragons best known for retail, manufacturing, or traditional investment.
The year 2022 refers to his first series as a Dragon. It should not be confused with the earlier founding dates of Social Chain or the launch of his podcast, both of which predate his television appointment.
