Answer
Steven Bartlett
Answer
Steven Bartlett
Steven Bartlett joined the UK television programme Dragons' Den in 2022.
Bartlett became a Dragon in the twentieth series, which was broadcast in 2023 after his appointment was announced in 2022. He joined the panel alongside existing investors and brought a background in digital media, entrepreneurship and marketing.
Before Dragons' Den, Bartlett co-founded Social Chain, a social-media marketing agency, with Dominic McGregor. He later became widely known as the host of The Diary of a CEO podcast, where he interviews business leaders, public figures and other prominent guests.
Bartlett was notably younger than the show's established investors when he joined. However, reports describing him as the youngest-ever Dragon can vary depending on whether they mean youngest at appointment or youngest currently serving. The unambiguous fact is his joining year: 2022, before his first regular appearance in the following series.
