About the Founder

Craig Pollard — Apple Alumni, Board Advisor, VC Investor

Before founding Who's In, Craig Pollard spent twelve years at Apple, leading teams that shipped products used by millions. Running a weekly football game on the side, he lived the same admin pain every organiser knows — chasing RSVPs in group chats, juggling payments, and manually managing waitlists.

Who's In was built to eliminate that admin debt. A one-link solution with Stripe integration for secure payments, automated WhatsApp reminders so you never chase a guest again, and smart waitlist management that handles overflow automatically.

Beyond Who's In, Craig serves as a Board Advisor and Non-Executive Director to technology and sports companies, and is an active VC investor in early-stage startups.
