Episode 42: Romina Savova
Raising Capital, Building Tech and Making Pensions Simple
Today’s guest is Romina Savova, CEO and founder of PensionBee, the fast-growing technology company making it easy to combine and manage your pension online.
In the six years since Romi founded the company, PensionBee has almost 300,000 customers and £800MIL under investment, demonstrating the extraordinary success of its customer-centric approach.
Romi tells us how she tried to consolidate her own pension and experienced the painful process for consumers, knowing that there had to be a better way. She explains how PensionBee developed a “minimum loveable product”, raised their first million of investment and the importance of jargon-free language to help people like you and I manage their money better.
And when it comes to startup advice for entrepreneurs, Romi tells us: “go as far as you can go before you take the jump”.

This episode of Women On Top is brought to you by Estrid, the Scandanavian razor brand offering a modern, vegan shaving product.
Hair removal should be optional, but great hair removal should not. encased in cocoa butter, aloe vera & shea butter, the Estrid razor feels great on the skin and provides a close, smooth finish.
Estrid doesn’t just feel different though, it makes a difference. For every purchase you make, they donate a portion to The Fawcett Society, the UK’s leading membership charity campaigning for gender equality and women’s rights at work, at home and in public life. Their vision is a society in which women and girls in all their diversity are equal and truly free to fulfill their potential creating a stronger, happier, better future for us all.
The startkit from Estrid includes everything you’ll need for a new shaving experience. For £7.95 you’ll receive an Estrid handle, a razor holder and two 5-blades razors. Visit estrid.com and be sure to use the code ‘WOM’ to donate that extra £1 to The Fawcett society.
Thanks very much to Estrid.
