Teammate Appreciation: Nyree Trimbel Taking inspiration from Jamie Hamer’s post this morning, I wanted to take a moment to appreciate someone who has been an integral part of FundMyPitch since day one. If you’re part of the FundMyPitch community, whether as an investor or founder - chances are you’ve had the pleasure of speaking with Nyree. She joined 18 months ago this very week, bringing her sharp marketing expertise, strategic thinking, and trademark wit to everything we do. Nyree’s background spans commercial marketing across industries like travel, education, automotive, technology, and healthcare. She’s worked with investors, startups, and tech platforms, particularly in the Manchester area, and has a deep understanding of what it takes to craft a compelling marketing proposition. She firmly believes that while marketing might not solve all the world’s problems, the right messaging and tactical execution can certainly give any business - especially those raising investment - a competitive advantage. At FundMyPitch, she keeps us sharp, on point, and always ready to cut through the noise. Her no-nonsense approach, combined with her ability to balance strategy with action, has been instrumental in shaping how we communicate, connect, and grow. So here’s to Nyree - for her expertise, her energy, and her ability to make sure we always get straight to the point (with a bit of sharp humour thrown in for good measure!).
