Which entrepreneur became a Dragon on the UK television show Dragon's Den in 2022?

Steven Bartlett became a Dragon on the UK television show Dragon's Den in 2022.

Bartlett joined the BBC programme as a regular investor for its nineteenth series. He was already known as a technology entrepreneur and as the founder of Social Chain, a social-media marketing company established with Dominic McGregor. He also became widely known through The Diary of a CEO podcast.

His appointment brought a younger technology and digital-media perspective to the panel. That made him distinct from Dragons whose reputations were built mainly in retail, manufacturing or traditional consumer businesses.

Nick Jenkins and Touker Suleyman also joined the programme in later years, while Peter Jones was part of the original 2005 panel. The date is therefore useful for separating Bartlett's arrival from the many other panel changes that have taken place during the show's run.
