Steven Bartlett became the youngest-ever Dragon when he joined the UK television show Dragons' Den in 2022.
Bartlett was born in 1992 and co-founded the social-media marketing agency Social Chain with Dominic McGregor in 2014. The company grew from a start-up into an international social-media business, giving Bartlett a background in digital marketing and online entrepreneurship.
He joined Dragons' Den for the programme's twentieth series, alongside fellow new Dragon Peter Jones? No: Bartlett joined the established panel as a new investor, while the series also featured the programme's continuing Dragons. His appointment marked a generational shift in the UK version's investor line-up.
Bartlett is sometimes confused with Tom Blomfield, another technology entrepreneur who appeared as a guest Dragon. The youngest-Dragon record refers to Bartlett's regular appointment to the UK panel, not to the age of every guest investor.
