Who became the youngest Dragon on Britain's Dragon's Den when he joined the panel in 2022?

Steven Bartlett became the youngest Dragon on Britain's Dragon's Den when he joined the panel in 2022.

Bartlett is a British entrepreneur, author and podcaster who co-founded the social-media marketing agency Social Chain. The company grew from a start-up focused on social-media campaigns into an international business, giving Bartlett experience in digital marketing, branding and online communities.

He joined Dragon's Den for the programme's twentieth series, bringing a notably digital and technology-focused perspective to the panel. His appointment was widely described as a generational change because he was substantially younger than the established investors who had dominated the programme's earlier years.

The title refers to the age of the Dragon at the time he joined, not to the age of the youngest entrepreneur ever to pitch on the show. Bartlett is also known for The Diary of a CEO podcast, but that work is separate from his role as a Dragon and from his co-founder status at Social Chain.
