About

London-based events startup Pollen entered administration in August 2022 after failing to secure a buyer, a collapse that followed months of financial turmoil including missed staff payroll and unpaid customer refunds. The company, which had raised a $150 million Series C just months earlier, was forced into restructuring due to a challenging funding environment and reduced M&A activity. While its consumer-facing subsidiary and college travel business were set to continue separately, the failure to sell the entire company marked a significant downfall for the once-promising venture-backed firm in the global events and travel experience industry.
