Steven Bartlett became the youngest-ever Dragon when he joined the British series in 2021.
Bartlett joined Dragons' Den for its nineteenth series, becoming the youngest person to serve as a permanent investor on the British version. He was born in 1992 and was 29 when he joined the panel. His appointment marked a generational change in the programme's investor line-up.
Before appearing on television, Bartlett co-founded Social Chain, a social-media marketing and advertising company. He later became known for The Diary of a CEO podcast, which broadened his public profile beyond entrepreneurship and digital marketing.
The record refers to age at the time of joining the British show, not to the youngest entrepreneur ever to pitch in the den. It is also separate from questions about the youngest business founder receiving an offer. Bartlett's investment background is especially associated with technology, media, branding and online businesses.
