Steven Bartlett became the youngest-ever Dragon's Den investor when he joined the UK show in 2022.
Bartlett joined the programme for its twentieth series, which began broadcasting in 2022. He was born in 1992 and was 29 when the series was filmed, making him younger than previous and contemporary members of the panel.
He co-founded Social Chain, a social-media marketing agency, with Dominic McGregor in 2014. Bartlett later became known for The Diary of a CEO podcast and for investments in technology, health and consumer businesses. His background gives the panel a perspective centred on digital brands and online communities.
The title refers to the youngest person appointed as a UK dragon, not to the youngest entrepreneur ever to pitch in the den. It is also distinct from the age of a company or from the age at which Bartlett first started a business.
