About The Speaker
Aston Pollington
Aston helps UK entrepreneurs prepare and progress through raising investment with assistance on funding strategy, share option incentives, and overall raise confidence. She hopes to make the funding journey accessible to more founders and take the confusion out of raising for her clients. With a background as an ex-founder of a start-up aimed to improve comms between investors and their portfolio, she is able to understand the founder and investor perspective from a personal point of view. Her experience also includes work with Bumble where she managed the UK ambassador program aimed at improving campaigns and marketing across UK universities. In her spare time, you can catch her recording podcasts, working on her Master's thesis, and participating in various speaking events across the UK startup community.
