Which Dragon joined the UK version of Dragon's Den in 2022 as its youngest-ever investor?

Steven Bartlett joined the UK version of Dragon's Den in 2022 as its youngest-ever investor.

Bartlett is a technology entrepreneur, author and podcaster who co-founded Social Chain, a social-media marketing agency. He joined the Dragon's Den panel in 2022, adding a strong digital-media and online-branding background to the investor line-up.

His appointment attracted attention because of his age and because his career was rooted in social media rather than the traditional retail and manufacturing sectors often associated with earlier Dragons. He was 29 when he joined the programme, making him the youngest investor in the UK version at that point.

The year 2022 identifies his arrival on the British programme. It should not be confused with the founding date of Social Chain or the launch date of his podcast, The Diary of a CEO, which are separate milestones in his career.
