The businessman was a millionaire by the age of 23, following his success with the marketing agency which is now valued at $600m.

He left Social Chain back in 2020 to pursue new projects such as the marketing platform Flight Story and ThirdWeb, a company that creates blockchain-based applications.

Steven also has a huge social media presence and is a content creator, investor, speaker, and Sunday Times best-selling author.

His podcast 'The Diary of a CEO' follows Steven as he interviews big names in the business industry such as Gymshark's Ben Francis, Ann Summers' Jacqueline Gold CBE, and more recently Pretty Little Thing creative director, Molly-Mae Hague.

Last year, he was listed as number six in the UK’s black power list alongside Michaela Coel and Marcus Rashford.

He told The Guardian: ‘Dragons’ Den was the only window I had into business from 12 years old but I understand what I bring. A new perspective from a new era of business.

‘I feel a responsibility because there’s never been a black, young Dragon on the show. The most powerful role models, of course, are those that are most relatable.’
