Which 2022 Dragon's Den investor co-founded the agency Social Chain?

Steven Bartlett co-founded the social-media marketing agency Social Chain.

Bartlett established Social Chain with Dominic McGregor in 2014. The agency focused on social-media marketing, digital communities and campaigns designed for online audiences. Its growth made Bartlett a prominent young figure in the technology and marketing sectors before his television appointment.

Bartlett joined the Dragon's Den panel in 2022, becoming the programme's youngest Dragon at the time. His background differed from that of investors whose careers were rooted mainly in traditional retail, property or manufacturing. That digital-business experience shaped the kinds of companies and online brands he discussed on the show.

Social Chain is sometimes confused with Bartlett's later podcasting and investment work. Those are separate parts of his career. The company was co-founded in 2014, while his arrival on Dragon's Den occurred eight years later, so the two dates should not be treated as the same event.
