Who was the youngest Dragon when Steven Bartlett joined Dragons' Den in 2021?

Steven Bartlett was the youngest Dragon when he joined Dragons' Den in 2021.

Bartlett joined the BBC programme at the age of 29. His appointment attracted attention because he was younger than the other investors and represented a newer generation of technology and media entrepreneurs.

Before joining the panel, Bartlett co-founded Social Chain, a social-media marketing company, with Dominic McGregor. He later became known for The Diary of a CEO podcast, which broadened his public profile beyond business television.

The youngest-Dragon fact refers to Bartlett’s age when he joined the programme, not necessarily his age at the time of every later series. It also should not be confused with claims about the youngest entrepreneur to receive an investment in the Den.
