Who became the youngest Dragon when Steven Bartlett joined BBC's Dragon's Den?

Steven Bartlett became the youngest Dragon when he joined BBC's Dragon's Den.

Bartlett joined the programme's regular panel in 2022, at the age of 29. His appointment brought a younger technology and digital-media perspective to the investment team, reflecting the growing importance of online businesses and creator-led companies.

Before becoming a Dragon, Bartlett co-founded Social Chain, a social-media marketing agency, with Dominic McGregor. He also became known as the host of The Diary of a CEO podcast, which broadened his public profile beyond entrepreneurship.

The title refers to his age when appointed to the UK panel, not to the age of the youngest entrepreneur ever to pitch on the show. Dragon's Den has featured many very young founders, but the panel position and the contestants are separate records.
