I followed Pollen as an investor and supporter early on, but the whole situation left a sour taste. Hearing about expensive glamping festivals and a “frat boy” vibe inside an $800M-valued startup was disappointing this did not feel like professional leadership to me.

Former employees’ accounts of the culture and financial decisions make me seriously question his judgment and priorities.
