Our TrustPilot reviews

Connectd support throughout the advisory placement process has been clear, proactive, and genuinely helpful. Nathanael took the time to understand both parties and facilitate a great fit, with a professional yet approachable style that really made a difference. The platform itself is intuitive and easy to navigate, and the personal service has made the experience feel both premium and purposeful.

The placement facilitation call covered the agenda items, including introductions, confirmation of the placement agreement, clarification of roles and responsibilities, review of the terms of engagement, and scheduling of the next meeting date.

Sherina Larrier 29th May, 2025

We had a fantastic experience with Connectd. Within just two weeks, we successfully onboarded two high-caliber board advisors—something that would’ve taken months through traditional channels. Highly recommend Connectd to any startup looking to grow their network and bring experienced talent on board quickly.

I would love to appreciate the entire connectd team for supporting my early-stage start up become investment ready by gaining access to talented advisors. They understood the business needs of Butterfly Wellness and now I've have found new confidence in my team.

Butterfly Wellness 1st May, 2025

I worked with Connectd a while back, and they were personable, efficient and well connected. Within a week or two, I had a few investors meetings with active investors interested in our industry and closed an investment with them. So am going to try working with them again for our next round.

Starting my first Board Advisor role. So far the journey has been professional, very good content and impressive online platform and experience.

John McHale 18th April, 2025

I am a new advisor member of the Connectd community and my experience so far has been very positive. It's always good to connect with other professionals, and its been great to connect with Founders with energising goals and ideas.

Neil Hendricks 14th April, 2025

This is a goldmine for any Founder, especially solo-founder, looking for pro-bono high quality advisory roles to bolster your startup! The team at Connectd are extremely helpful and friendly, big shoutout to Harriet, Emily, and James!

Marc Picot 4th April, 2025

I attended my first Connectd event in NYC this week and I felt the location, curation of people and ideas that were shared were extremely unique. I am a very new member, but my initial thoughts are that the Connectd community has a common goal to collaborate, build, invest in, and launch great products and businesses. As an advisor and product leader with a development team that is passionate about development, this is the perfect place for me at this point in my career.

Versha Singh Plainfield 14th March, 2025

Was a bit dubious at first but after completing the board advisory course, I was appointed a mentor and she is fantastic! She has given me so many useful insights and helped me recreate profiles and CVs. I was worried at first as I hadn’t heard anything about placements but I was then contacted and a placement given to me. Really looking forward to working with the company and hopefully helping them grow.

Darren Bigwood 12 March, 2025

I have enjoyed the Connectd experience to date. The training materials helped me get my mind in the right place for doing something I've never done before, being a consulting board member. And, I feel that my placement was a real good fit for my interests. Very happy.
