Steven’s early career included co-founding social media marketing company Social Chain, which was then accused of plagiarising social media posts. It was also reported that he overstated the firm’s worth, claiming he took it public at a value of $600million when it had in fact merged with a German firm for less than a third of the value and only grew in value after he left.
After that, Steven founded media firm Flight Story which produces his popular Diary of a CEO podcast. The Daily Mail reported that Bartlett said in a press release that the holding company for his ventures, Steven.com, has been valued at $425million (£320million).
This comes after the firm received an eight-figure investment from venture capital firms Slow Ventures and Apeiron Investment. Steven’s other companies FlightStory, FlightCast and FlightFund will also fall under Steven.com.
FlightStory produces his Diary of a CEO podcast and is also behind Davina McCall’s Begin Again show. Steven has interviewed plenty of well-known names on his podcast including the likes of Simon Cowell, Boris Johnson and Richard Branson.
The podcast won Best International Podcast award at the iHeart Radio podcast awards this year. Steven landed himself in hot water on Dragons’ Den after investing in Ear Seeds which are acupuncture beads placed in the ear that falsely claimed to cure ME or chronic fatigue syndrome.
Following complaints the BBC added a disclaimer to the episode, stating that the seeds were not intended to be a cure for ME.
