Sasha Trower
Founders say it best
Investor & board role
2017 - 2024
“Sasha is truly one of my favourite collaborators and I‘m so lucky to have had her as a Board member for more than 6 years! She is sharp, kind, collaborative, generous with her time and she simply gives strong advice. Her thoughts always have substance because she knows what metrics and levers matter.”
Nina Faulhaber
Founder, Aday
Investor
Since 2023
“At Runna it’s been amazing to work with Sasha as one of our investors - she’s the perfect balance of being there when you need support but equally letting you crack on when you need to focus. She’s always incredibly personable, friendly and easy to work with!”
Dom Maskell
Founder & CEO, Runna
Investor & board role
Since 2019
“Sasha combines three unique qualities founders love (and need): Courage of early commitment, genuine & empathic challenge, unconditional support through hard times. I don’t recall a single discussion with Sasha where I didn’t come out more energized. If I ever built another venture, Sasha would be the first investor I’d reach out to”
Tristan Le Corre
Founder & CEO, Shotgun
Investor & board role
2021 - 2024
"Hard to overstate how important Sasha has been to our board and investment journey at TALA. She is quick and clever, a fountain of knowledge with a large network from years in the investor community as well as from portfolio company learnings, and is generally an incredible sounding board across a wide range of relevant subjects."
Morgan Fowles
CEO, T/ALA
Investor & board role
2022 - 2024
“I couldn’t be more grateful to have had Sasha as our lead investor. Sasha has been instrumental to Temple’s journey from day one. She saw the potential from idea stage and has consistently offered candid and actionable advice across every area of the business.”
Omar Ismail
Founder & CEO, Temple
Investor
2017 - 2024
“I don't even know where to begin with thanking you. If it weren't for you, Olombria probably wouldn't exist. You took a risk on a crazy RCA student who said that flies would save the world. Without your support, we wouldn't have been able to prove our case and still be around today. All I can say is thank you times 10!”
Tashia Tucker
Founder & CEO, Olombria
Investor & board role
2019 - 2024
“I hold a great deal of respect and admiration for Sasha. Her ability to quickly grasp large amounts of information in a short period is impressive, making her an excellent sounding board. As an investor, she is both supportive and practical, and her straightforward yet respectful nature has always led me to recommend Sasha to other early-stage founders.”
Rishi Gupta
Founder & CEO, gomi
Investor & board role
2018 - 2024
“Sasha, one of our earliest investors, has always been a friendly and trusted advisor for the Founders. Her unique ability to listen and offer constructive feedback, often drawn from her many experiences with Founders, renews your drive to push boundaries and dream bigger.”
James Cook
Founder & CEO, HEXR
Investor & board role
2022 - 2024
“Sasha takes an action oriented and pragmatic approach to supporting founders and cuts through the noise to give straightforward and valuable feedback. I particularly remember her asking me to reference her with other founders before we started working together and this showed how strong her relationships were.”
Rosie Bailey
Founder & CEO, Nibble
Investor & board role
2017 - 2024
“Naturally able to balance what is best for founders, the company and its investors, recognising that this is pivotal to success, Sasha is ever unfazed, ever supportive and ever enthusiastic. She epitomises the idea of ‘partnership’, advancing and winning mutual trust, whilst offering sober, constructive criticism and clear-eyed insights."
Steve Howarth
Founder & CEO, Jottnar
Investor & board role
2018-2024
“Working with Sasha has been an incredible journey. Her unwavering support and belief in my vision have been a constant source of motivation, even during challenging times. Sasha’s thoughtful and balanced approach to investing, combined with her genuine care for the people she works with, sets her apart."
Elinor Pitt
Founder & CEO, Stitched
Investor & board role
2021 - 2024
Sasha had a big impact on our journey. She asked astute and thought-provoking questions, and consistently challenged me to focus my vision, and refine my strategy towards milestones and scale. She approached every interaction with kindness and a genuine interest in our success, and always made herself available, whether it was a quick call or longer meeting."
Kiemu Salmon
Founder & CEO, Beautonomy
Investor
2020 - 2024
“Sasha was really helpful and supportive in multiple funding rounds, helped us with client introductions and office space when we were just starting out. Always available and happy to help.”

"Hard to overstate how important Sasha has been to our board and investment journey at TALA. She is quick and clever, a fountain of knowledge with a large network from years in the investor community as well as from portfolio company learnings, and is generally an incredible sounding board across a wide range of relevant subjects."
Morgan Fowles
CEO, T/ALA

“I couldn’t be more grateful to have had Sasha as our lead investor. Sasha has been instrumental to Temple’s journey from day one. She saw the potential from idea stage and has consistently offered candid and actionable advice across every area of the business.”
Omar Ismail

“I don't even know where to begin with thanking you. If it weren't for you, Olombria probably wouldn't exist. You took a risk on a crazy RCA student who said that flies would save the world. Without your support, we wouldn't have been able to prove our case and still be around today. All I can say is thank you times 10!”
Tashia Tucker
Founder & CEO, Olombria

2019 - 2024
“I hold a great deal of respect and admiration for Sasha. Her ability to quickly grasp large amounts of information in a short period is impressive, making her an excellent sounding board. As an investor, she is both supportive and practical, and her straightforward yet respectful nature has always led me to recommend Sasha to other early-stage founders.”
Rishi Gupta

“Sasha, one of our earliest investors, has always been a friendly and trusted advisor for the Founders. Her unique ability to listen and offer constructive feedback, often drawn from her many experiences with Founders, renews your drive to push boundaries and dream bigger.”
James Cook
Founder & CEO, HEXR
Investor & board role
2022 - 2024
“Sasha takes an action oriented and pragmatic approach to supporting founders and cuts through the noise to give straightforward and valuable feedback.

Rosie Bailey
Founder & CEO, Nibble
Investor & board role
2017 - 2024
“Naturally able to balance what is best for founders, the company and its investors, recognising that this is pivotal to success, Sasha is ever unfazed, ever supportive and ever enthusiastic. She epitomises the idea of ‘partnership’, advancing and winning mutual trust, whilst offering sober, constructive criticism and clear-eyed insights."

Sasha had a big impact on our journey. She asked astute and thought-provoking questions, and consistently challenged me to focus my vision, and refine my strategy towards milestones and scale.

“At Runna it’s been amazing to work with Sasha as one of our investors - she’s the perfect balance of being there when you need support but equally letting you crack on when you need to focus. She’s always incredibly personable, friendly and easy to work with!”
Dom Maskell
Founder & CEO, Runna
Investor & board role
Since 2019
“Sasha combines three unique qualities founders love (and need): Courage of early commitment, genuine & empathic challenge, unconditional support through hard times. I don’t recall a single discussion with Sasha where I didn’t come out more energized. If I ever built another venture, Sasha would be the first investor I’d reach out to”
