Who became the youngest Dragon when he joined the British series Dragon's Den in 2022?

Steven Bartlett became the youngest Dragon when he joined the British series Dragon's Den in 2022.

Bartlett joined the investor panel for the programme's twentieth series. He was 29 at the time, making him the youngest person to hold the Dragon role in the British version of the show.

He is a British entrepreneur, author and podcaster, best known as the co-founder of the social-media marketing company Social Chain. His businesses and public profile made him a notably younger addition to a panel traditionally associated with established investors.

The age record concerns the British programme's dragons, not every investor who has appeared in international adaptations. Bartlett's appointment also marked a generational shift in the panel and brought expertise in digital businesses and online marketing to the pitch room.
