In the UK TV show Dragon's Den, Steven Bartlett first appeared as a Dragon in 2022.
The BBC announced Bartlett as a new investor for the programme's twentieth series. That series began broadcasting in January 2022, placing his debut later than the arrivals of several other modern Dragons, including Sara Davies and Touker Suleyman.
Bartlett brought a background in social-media marketing, technology entrepreneurship and podcasting. He co-founded Social Chain and had become a prominent business personality before joining the television panel. His appointment marked a generational change in the programme's lineup.
The year can be confused with 2015, when other investors joined the panel, or 2019, when Sara Davies became a Dragon. Those dates refer to different appointments. Bartlett's first series was the twentieth, broadcast in 2022.
