Which Dragon became the youngest investor ever to join Britain's Dragons' Den?

Steven Bartlett became the youngest investor ever to join Britain's Dragons' Den.

Bartlett joined the panel in 2021, becoming a Dragon at 29. His appointment brought a technology and social-media-focused business background to a panel traditionally associated with retail, manufacturing, property and finance.

He co-founded Social Chain, a social-media marketing agency, and became known publicly as an entrepreneur, podcaster and author. His professional profile helped distinguish his arrival from earlier Dragons whose best-known businesses were in physical retail or hospitality.

The age record concerns the point at which he joined the panel, not the age at which he founded his company or began appearing in media. That distinction prevents confusion with claims about the youngest entrepreneur to pitch in the Den, which is a different record.
