Who became the youngest-ever Dragon on the BBC show Dragon's Den?

Steven Bartlett became the youngest-ever Dragon on the BBC show Dragon's Den.

Bartlett joined the programme as an investor in 2022, when he was 29 years old. His appointment added a younger technology and social-media entrepreneur to a panel traditionally associated with more established business figures.

He co-founded the social-media marketing agency Social Chain with Dominic McGregor in 2014. The company grew rapidly and worked with major brands, helping establish Bartlett as a prominent entrepreneur and business podcaster before his television role.

The record refers to Bartlett's age when he joined the British programme, not to the age of an entrepreneur making a pitch. His role as a Dragon also differs from his later public profile as host of the podcast The Diary of a CEO.
