Which entrepreneur became the youngest regular dragon when he joined Dragons' Den in 2022?
Answer
Steven Bartlett
Answer
Steven Bartlett
Steven Bartlett became the youngest regular dragon when he joined the British television show Dragons' Den in 2022.
Bartlett was born in 1992 and co-founded Social Chain, a social-media marketing agency, with Dominic McGregor in 2014. The company grew from a youth-focused social media venture into an international agency group. Bartlett later became widely known as the host of The Diary of a CEO podcast.
He joined Dragons' Den for the twentieth series, which aired in 2022. At 29, he was younger than the other regular investors who had appeared on the panel. His appointment reflected the programme's increasing interest in technology, digital marketing and modern consumer brands.
Being the youngest dragon describes his age at appointment, not the age of the youngest entrepreneur ever to pitch. Bartlett's role was as an investor evaluating businesses, while contestants remained responsible for presenting their own products and financial proposals.
