Which Dragon joined Dragons' Den in 2022 as the youngest investor in the show's history?
Answer
Steven Bartlett
Answer
Steven Bartlett
Steven Bartlett joined Dragons' Den in 2022 as the youngest investor in the show's history.
Bartlett joined the panel for the twentieth series of the BBC programme. He was already known as an entrepreneur, author and podcaster, and as the co-founder of the social-media marketing company Social Chain.
His appointment added a Dragon whose career was strongly associated with digital media, online communities and technology businesses. That background broadened the range of expertise represented on the panel.
The “youngest” description refers to age at the time of joining the programme, not to the youngest contestant ever to pitch. Bartlett is also sometimes confused with later or earlier technology-focused investors, but his Dragons' Den debut was in 2022.
