Which dragon became the youngest investor ever on the British Dragon's Den panel?

Steven Bartlett became the youngest investor ever on the British Dragon's Den panel. The entrepreneur and podcaster joined the programme in 2021, bringing a background in digital media and technology to the investor group.

Bartlett co-founded Social Chain, a social-media marketing company, and later became known for The Diary of a CEO podcast. His business experience gave the panel a notably younger and more digitally focused perspective than its original line-up.

His appointment does not mean he was the youngest person ever to appear on the programme. The claim concerns the regular investor role: Bartlett joined as a dragon at a younger age than the panel's previous investors. That wording is important because entrepreneurs of many ages have pitched in the den.
