Connectd Reviews 661

A really smooth and successful experience in finding the right board executives to support our business into the future!! Thank you, I couldn't be more pleased.

Renee has been fantastic in helping me join the Connectd transition-to-portfolio pathway, making the whole process smooth and straightforward. The Connectd platform is booming with fractional and board opportunities in my field, and just 3 weeks into my first board advisory placement I’ve already landed another paid role. I’m very satisfied with my journey so far and grateful for Renee’s support throughout. Thank you!

So far, my experience working with Connected has been very professional and promising, fully meeting my expectations. The meetings with the Pro Bono advisors have been excellent—their profiles and experience align perfectly with what we’re looking for, and the introductory conversations were even more encouraging. We’re looking forward to collaborating with the advisors over the coming months.

As a founder at Zavvis AI, I had an excellent experience with Connectd. They matched me with seasoned executives, and Daniel Watson coordinated and hosted our first three-way meeting. The session was focused, insightful, and we left with clear next steps. I’m genuinely excited to work together. Strongly recommend Connectd for high-quality operator/advisor matches.

Emily and Daniel were very supportive and the platform has enabled us to connect with much sought advisors. Thanks.

Personalised support to look for the right kind of profiles, and helping me in the discussion for the appropriate support.

This is a 100% scam.

The initial interview invitation implied they had a specific role for me. The meeting lasted 30 minutes:

The first 10 minutes were about my experience as a board member, which seemed okay.

The next 10 minutes were just them talking about how great it is to be a board member.

The final 10 minutes were a sales pitch for their system.

They revealed that to get a place, I would have to pay £2400 or £4500 for their course and then, (fingers crossed) I might get a role. I said, if the training is so good, let us make "commission-based," but they declined.
They clearly don't trust their own system.

SCAM - DO NOT TRUST THEM.

Great experience with Connectd over the past few months we've been on the platform. We've been connected with some excellent advisors thanks in particular to Nathaniel Opedo's help. Really appreciate the ability to access such amazing talent as a small business working towards growth.

Within 2 months of being active and certified, I was able to land two roles through Connectd!

Daniel, has been hugely helpful in not only directly sourcing and pairing myself and my co-founder with the advisors we need, but also throughout the process of doing so.

Despite him already having paired us with an advisor, he continues to help us greatly in multiple ways, such as finding additional advisors to compliment not only our existing advisor, but my own personal strengths and weaknesses.

Daniel's support has certainly had a large positive impact on our Prop/LegalTech start up, because of his support, we are making better decisions, faster.

Legend.

James St John-Dunlopis brilliant and his enthusiasm is amazing! He's found 2 great matches for Forma- both off which I'm generally very excited to explore!

Nathaniel our rep was great, the first two recommendations he found for us we hired immediately

Connectd creates a link up between viable start ups and experienced professionals who have scaled up, developed businesses

Daniel had a good understanding of my business needs and has matched me with someone that I’m really excited to work with.

I came across Connectd just two weeks ago, and in that short time James and the team have already connected me with a fantastic pro-bono advisor. Things couldn’t be going more smoothly, and I’m genuinely excited for what the next six months will bring. What really stands out for me is that this goes beyond simply giving advice, it’s real, hands-on help that’s making a difference already.

Simple way to connect with experts who are willing to help and offer value.

I’ve recently been onboarded and quickly finding this company to be the ultimate platform to transitioning into a portfolio career. Working with Faun has been a pleasure and I encourage anyone looking to switch their career to advisory and fractional to see what Connectd has to offer.

Connectd has been very helpful in connecting our startup with a Non exec Director and the experience so far has been great. The connection was initiated by the Connectd team and facilitated by Nathaniel Opedo in a seamless and helpful way.

The programme offered practical guidance that helped refine my advisory profile and align my experience in digital transformation with board-level opportunities. The tailored support, insightful mentorship, and engaging sessions helped me build confidence and strengthen my positioning. I’m pleased to have secured pro bono advisory role, with the team’s proactive support.

As a founder and an advisor, I've got a unique experience of both sides of the coin.
I am currently finding the platform useful - but I know others mileage may vary. It ultimately depends on you to make the most of the networking opportunities to build your portfolio.
As a founder - I've found it useful to get access to a diverse set of skills that I would not have otherwise had.
As an advisor - it has been useful to get a group of contacts that expand the network and are a great source of knowledge.
Nathaniel was instrumental in setting up my initial placement which is going well also.
