Sarah has been incredibly generous with her time and energy, supporting our UoB Elevate founders at the most vulnerable stage — right at the beginning of their journey. She’s shown such care and empathy while offering practical, honest advice that really made a difference.

Whether judging our pitch competition or offering guidance during Meet the Experts, she’s been a steady presence — someone who not only understands the founder journey but is also committed to giving back. It’s especially powerful when someone who’s built and succeeded in their own venture chooses to support others just starting out.
