Which Dragon's Den investor was the youngest Dragon when he joined the programme in 2022?

Steven Bartlett was the youngest Dragon when he joined Dragon's Den in 2022.

Bartlett joined the panel for the twentieth series after building a career in digital marketing, entrepreneurship and media. He co-founded Social Chain, a social-media marketing company, and later became known for The Diary of a CEO podcast.

His appointment was widely noted because he represented a younger generation of technology-focused business founders on a panel traditionally associated with established investors from retail, property, manufacturing and finance.

The distinction refers to his age when joining the programme, not to the youngest entrepreneur ever to pitch. Bartlett's role as a Dragon also differs from his work as a podcast host and company founder.
