About Georgia D'Costa:

Global partnerships manager with a Bachelor of Laws degree and the Legal Practice Course. I was the 4th employee of a rapidly scaling start-up, The Founding Network, a community of high-growth start-up founders and investors across London, New York and Berlin. I developed relationships with high-growth start-up founders to understand their needs on their journey as a scaling business and identified suitable commercial partners that could help them reach their full growth potential. I drove revenue-generating partnerships and created annual programmes for leading brands to build business relationships with high-growth start-ups through our in-person and virtual events.
