Which Dragon was the youngest investor to join the BBC panel?

Steven Bartlett was the youngest investor to join the BBC Dragons' Den panel.

Bartlett joined the programme in 2021, aged 29. His appointment brought a younger technology and digital-media entrepreneur to the panel, reflecting the increasing importance of online businesses and creator-led brands.

Before Dragons' Den, Bartlett co-founded Social Chain, a social-media marketing agency, with Dominic McGregor. He later became known for The Diary of a CEO podcast and for investments in technology and consumer companies.

The age distinction refers to the point at which a Dragon joined the panel, not necessarily to the age at which every Dragon began working in business. Bartlett's appointment made him notably younger than the established investors already associated with the programme.
