Which Dragon on BBC's Dragons' Den founded Social Chain in 2014?
Answer
Steven Bartlett
Answer
Steven Bartlett
Steven Bartlett founded Social Chain in 2014.
Social Chain is a social-media marketing agency that Bartlett co-founded with Dominic McGregor. The company developed campaigns for brands by using online communities, viral content and social platforms rather than relying only on traditional advertising methods.
Bartlett joined BBC's Dragons' Den in 2022, becoming the youngest Dragon in the programme's history at the time. His background differs from that of many earlier Dragons because his public profile was built through digital media, entrepreneurship and podcasting. He is also known for hosting The Diary of a CEO podcast.
Social Chain is sometimes confused with Bartlett's podcast company or with later ventures associated with him. The specific fact is that Social Chain was founded in 2014. Bartlett's appointment also marked a generational change in the panel, bringing a strongly digital business background to the programme.
