BAMBOO CROWD
IS A RECRUITING
PARTNER TO
COMPANIES BUILDING

Our vision is to
support a world
where innovation
drives impact for
the better.
  1. But recruitment is a major pain point, especially in the innovation economy, where the risk of getting it wrong is so much higher.
  2. We partner with Founders, Digital, Brand & Innovation Leaders, Capital Allocators, and Talent Teams to help them hire world-class talent & scale.
  3. Our team provides a one-stop shop for companies looking to recruit talent, augment their teams, & uncover human capital strategies from idea through to scale.

    Bamboo is, after all, stronger than steel
in 2013 we set out with the
belief that innovation has the
power to change lives, create
new opportunities, and make
the world a better place.

 

Founded by Alex Pavlou and Drew Welton, Bamboo Crowd started in humble beginnings building innovation  consultancies and venture studios in London. We saw a need for these companies to create teams that could genuinely discover new growth opportunities, launch new products and services, transform brands, and uncover breakthrough innovation for clients.

The innovation ecosystem has changed a lot since those days and we’re proud and privileged to have played a part in scaling over 500 companies, from disruptive startups through to global corporate innovation teams. We exist to bring back the passion into what makes this ecosystem great: people; humans; culture; diversity

Today we work
across all corners
of the innovation
ecosystem

 

From the beginning we’ve always followed the talent. The innovation ecosystem is filled with curious & disruptive thinkers, makers, & builders and we’ve watched how people have gone from launching 0 to 1 startups to designing corporate venture studios and spinouts. Where the talent has gone, so have we, which has allowed us to partner with incredible companies all across the world.

We felt their commitment. Our business felt like a priority. It cemented our partnership.
