About GrantTree
GrantTree was founded in 2010 by Paulina Sygulska-Tenner and Daniel Tenner out of their drive to provide tangible value to the burgeoning tech startup ecosystem. They were also deeply passionate about creating a living example of the future of work: where people are trusted, valued, and treated as whole humans.
The business grew rapidly and became known for its high quality service. When both founders exited in 2019, Nicky Johnson took over as CEO with a remit to scale the business and expand our impact.
In 2024, we were joined by now Chairman and CEO, Bob Leung. With over a decade of leadership experience, he’s passionate about creating self-driven teams and shaping company cultures that truly value and uplift their people. His mission is simple: to build not just great companies, but great places to work.
Over the years, GrantTree has significantly contributed to the growth of innovation in the UK, securing over £400 million in non-dilutive funding.
The story doesn’t end here. We’re building something exceptional to take GrantTree to the next level, and we hope you’ll be a part of our journey!
