Which company was co-founded by Dragon's Den investor Steven Bartlett in 2014?

The story behind the answer

Dragon's Den investor Steven Bartlett co-founded Social Chain in 2014.

Social Chain is a social-media marketing agency and media company. Bartlett co-founded it with Dominic McGregor, building on work in online communities and digital marketing. The business became known for campaigns designed to spread through social platforms and for using online culture as part of brand strategy.

Bartlett became a Dragon's Den investor in a later era of the programme, bringing a background strongly associated with digital businesses, social media, and technology-led entrepreneurship. His career therefore differs from that of Dragons whose fortunes were built mainly in conventional retail or manufacturing.

The name is sometimes confused with other companies using “social” in their branding. The relevant company is Social Chain, the business Bartlett co-founded in 2014, rather than a platform, coworking brand, or unrelated social-media tool.
