Who became the youngest-ever Dragon when he joined the BBC show in 2022?

The story behind the answer

Steven Bartlett became the youngest-ever Dragon when he joined the BBC's Dragon's Den in 2022. He entered the panel after building a profile in technology, marketing and entrepreneurship.

Bartlett co-founded Social Chain, a social-media marketing agency, with Dominic McGregor in 2014. He later founded Flight Story and became widely known as the host of the podcast The Diary of a CEO. His business background gave the panel a perspective focused on digital brands, online communities and modern marketing.

The age distinction refers to the age of the investor when joining the British Dragon's Den panel. It does not mean Bartlett was the youngest person ever to appear on the programme or the youngest entrepreneur to pitch.
