Which Dragon's Den investor joined the British panel in 2022, becoming its youngest Dragon?

Steven Bartlett joined the British Dragon's Den panel in 2022 and became its youngest Dragon.

Bartlett is an entrepreneur, author and podcaster best known for co-founding Social Chain, a social-media marketing agency. His appointment added a younger technology and digital-media perspective to the panel. He joined alongside the established Dragons rather than replacing the programme's central investment format.

Bartlett was born in Botswana in 1992 and grew up in Plymouth. He left university without completing a degree and built his early career through digital entrepreneurship. Social Chain expanded internationally and became a prominent business in the social-media marketing sector.

His age is the key detail behind the “youngest Dragon” description. That distinction should not be confused with being the first young investor on any version of the format, since Dragon's Den has international adaptations with different panels. Bartlett's role is specifically connected with the British BBC series.
