Who was the youngest investor ever appointed to the British TV series Dragons' Den?

Steven Bartlett was the youngest investor ever appointed to the British TV series Dragons' Den.

Bartlett joined the programme in 2021, bringing a background in digital media, social media marketing and technology entrepreneurship. He co-founded Social Chain, a social-media marketing company, before becoming a prominent business broadcaster and investor.

His appointment was notable because he represented a younger generation of technology-focused founders than many earlier Dragons. The programme's panel has included investors from retail, manufacturing, property, finance and media, so Bartlett expanded its visible expertise in digital businesses.

The claim concerns his age when appointed, not the age of the youngest entrepreneur to appear on the show. Those are separate records and should not be treated as interchangeable.
