Who became the youngest investor ever to join the British Dragons' Den panel in 2022?

Steven Bartlett became the youngest investor ever to join the British Dragons' Den panel in 2022.

Bartlett joined the programme in 2022 at the age of 29. He was appointed as a regular dragon after building a career in digital media and entrepreneurship, including co-founding Social Chain, a social-media marketing company.

His appointment marked a generational change for the panel. Bartlett brought expertise in online businesses, creator-led brands, social media and digital marketing, areas that had become increasingly important to entrepreneurs appearing on the show.

The record refers to the age at which he joined the British panel, not to the age of every investor when they first became wealthy or began a business. His role also should not be confused with guest appearances by other younger entrepreneurs.
