My experience with them has been brilliant.
If you are a startup founder looking for expert guidance, I cannot recommend Connectd enough.
My experience with them has been brilliant. What stood out to me right away was how seamless the entire journey was the onboarding process was smooth, and filtering through to find and choose the perfect mentor was incredibly straightforward.
For startups, having access to someone with vast, real-world experience in your specific field is a game-changer. Connectd bridges that gap perfectly. I highly recommend joining if you want to give your business the right edge!

From punching the clock to pursuing my passion
I joined Connectd with the hope of sharing my research, experience, and methodologies in improving organizational alignment, execution, and performance with start-ups. Within a few months, I landed my pro-bono placement with a start-up that shares my passions, in this case in the world of healthcare. I am now functioning in the role of Fractional COO working closely with the founder to prepare for the initial launch of a global platform to improve medical education, leadership, and patient outcomes. We are also in the process of discussing equity and profit sharing arrangements as part of my continued involvement. I would highly recommend Connectd to anyone who has more to offer the world than just punching the clock to make someone else rich.

I worked with Nathaniel, and he has secured 3 high value advisors for our startup.
I had a slight issue with onboarding my business docs to complete registration, however, from sending an email for support I was on a teams call with Harriet within an hour and got it all sorted in 5 minutes.
The follow-up support has been fantastic, and the network is high value.
As a first time founder, I can't recommend connectd enough.

Charges consultants/advisors a fee, not the companies
Contacted me recently, and sounded interesting until I realized it was just a sales call. They charge "advisors" rather than companies, which makes zero sense. There's a company out there looking for a senior advisor, and will to pay the extremely high hourly rate that you would charge, but isn't willing to pay a fee to the recruiter? Yeah, come on. Makes zero sense. I'd be surprised if any company is really hiring from this place. As soon as I realized they just wanted to sell me some expensive service, I dropped the call. Complete waste of time.

Hi Chuck, thank you for sharing your feedback. We are always open and transparent around our offering and details about our programme's success and fees are carefully described on our webpage.
The platform and programme has helped thousands of our customers to create meaningful connections in the early stage ecosystem and we are extremely proud of this and the value we deliver to our customers.
We do have a joining fee attached to all our membership packages but totally understand if this is not a right fit for you but we stand by our model, our integrity, and the results it continues to deliver for our advisors and startups alike.
If you would like to discuss your experience further we are always contactable through the info@connectd.co address
Did not deliver what was promised
Not really for me - I'm less inclined to the old-fashioned way of doing things, had no matches and have found no roles that work for me.
Not found a mentor that works for me either.
Training was ok, but nothing revolutionary. Found roles elsewhere of my own accord.
Subscription portal typical where theres no cancellation option and no contact details so they are hoping to get you auto-renewed for 12 months without challenge.
Not for me, sorry.
Updated - they reached out to me only after this review, so I have dropped to one star. Also i echo what others say about classification of what is a startup, some of the opportunities are barely a company and I dont think there is any strict criteria on what is accepted. I have also received emails from people from connectd sharing relevant roles which weren't relevant so its clear the knowledge or training internally isnt great. Thats £2880 down the drain....

Connectd takes data protection obligations seriously and has established processes for handling account closure and data-related requests. We have no interest in retaining information beyond what is required and would always encourage members with outstanding concerns to contact us directly so they can be addressed appropriately.
Given the limited information provided we are unable to investigate the matter through a public review, so we would like to kindly ask you to contact us directly at info@connectd.co. Our support team would be keen to support and carefully review your case.
We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve the experience we provide to our members.
I’ve found Connectd to be well worth it so far.
I joined Connectd earlier this year to support my transition into board advisory, and I’ve been impressed thus far.
The onboarding was quick and straightforward, supported by a friendly, responsive, and knowledgeable team. The community felt welcoming from the start, and the advisor certification program was a valuable refresher on best practices that helped build my confidence.
One of the biggest benefits has been the quality of the network. I was paired with a highly experienced mentor in my field and region, and I’ve been struck by the caliber of advisors, operators, and founders on the platform. The mix of B2B and D2C companies across various industries creates opportunities to learn from different perspectives.
As a U.S.-based advisor, I've also found Connectd's international reach valuable. The platform provides visibility across both the U.S. and U.K. startup ecosystems, helping me expand my network and connect with founders I otherwise wouldn't have met. I even saw an immediate increase in traffic to my LinkedIn profile after announcing my membership.
While there is an upfront investment, I see it as just that. In a world where most professional communities charge membership fees, the value is in the quality of connections, opportunities, and visibility. For advisors looking to build meaningful relationships with founders and expand their portfolios, I’ve found Connectd to be well worth it so far.

Thank you again for your trust and for sharing your experience. We’re excited to continue supporting your advisory journey and look forward to seeing the connections and opportunities ahead.
Great for transitioning from an exec to portfolio career
I have recently completed the Board Advisor programme with Connect'd and have found it useful in transitioning from an executive to a portfolio career. The main benefits from my perspective were (1) the training/webinars which put clear definition around terms such as board advisor/NED/fractional etc. which the industry uses interchangeably; (2) the chance to try out the role with a company and (3) the mentorship I received throughout the programme. It definitely helped me to 'cross the chasm' between career phases with guidance from those who have already successfully completed the journey.

A company I didn't know my career needed.
If you are looking to transition into board advisory roles, expand your portfolio, or enter the fractional executive space, I can’t recommend Connectd enough. My experience with them has been nothing short of exceptional.What sets Connectd apart is that they understand modern leadership isn't one-size-fits-all. They are much more than just a pipeline for traditional board seats—they have built a robust ecosystem that seamlessly connects top-tier talent with startups needing agile, fractional C-suite members. Whether a growth-stage company needs deep operational leadership or strategic board governance, the platform covers it all. For me, they provided a structured, straightforward pathway to step into these spaces with confidence. The training courses are high-value and incredibly easy to navigate, breaking down the exact mechanics of modern advisory and fractional roles.Beyond the education, the team actually delivers. They didn't just give me the tools; they actively helped me secure my first opportunity as a board advisor to some truly amazing startups. Along the way, the friendly, supportive team made the entire process seamless, and the networking has allowed me to connect with some fantastic, forward-thinking professionals.Whether you want to lend your C-suite expertise to scaling businesses on a flexible basis or secure a formal seat at the table, Connectd is the perfect partner to get you there.

An Excellent Start to My Board Advisory Journey with Connectd
Joining Connectd as a Board Advisor has been an excellent experience so far. The Board Advisor Certification programme was well-structured, practical, and highly relevant, providing valuable insights into modern governance, strategic advisory practices, and effective board engagement.

The best advisors don’t provide all the answers.
They ask better questions.
I’ve recently completed the Board Advisor Academy with Connectd, deepening my understanding of effective advisory practice, governance, founder support, and strategic decision-making.
The experience reinforced something I’ve believed throughout my career: sustainable growth comes from understanding what’s changing outside the business — consumers, culture, markets, and technology — and helping leadership teams translate those shifts into meaningful action.
As I continue building KC Advisory and working with founders, leadership teams, and growth-stage businesses, I’m excited to bring an even stronger advisory lens to conversations around growth, innovation, customer understanding, and future opportunities.
Here’s to helping businesses ask better questions, make smarter decisions, and build for what’s next.
Thank you Connectd!

Congratulations on completing the Board Advisor Academy Kayla a fantastic achievement.
Your reflection on advisory work really resonates: the value of great advisors isn’t in having all the answers, but in helping businesses ask the right questions at the right time.
The combination of governance, market awareness, customer understanding, and strategic thinking is what enables sustainable growth, especially for founders navigating constant change. Excited to see how you continue bringing that perspective through KC Advisory and supporting ambitious businesses in building for the future.
Well deserved — and best of luck for the next chapter.
Win-Win for everyone!
I've had an excellent experience with Connectd as I transition into advisory work. They do a great job of helping experienced professionals translate their corporate and operational experience into something valuable for founders and startups.
What impressed me most is that they don't just match advisors with opportunities—they actively prepare advisors for the areas where startup environments differ from larger organizations. Their training helps fill knowledge gaps while still leveraging the expertise advisors have built throughout their careers.
Connectd also invests significant effort into growing both sides of the marketplace, bringing in new founders and startups while continuing to develop a strong advisor community. That creates a true win-win: founders gain access to experienced guidance, advisors have meaningful opportunities to contribute, and the overall ecosystem becomes stronger as a result.
If you're considering either becoming an advisor or finding experienced support for your startup, Connectd has built a thoughtful platform that adds value to both sides of the relationship.

Definitely check Connectd out
I've worked with Connectd for a little over a month now. My advisor is Emily, and she's fantastic.
Originally, we weren't ready to work with Connectd. Emily told us what we'd need to do, she booked and managed follow-up appointments for us, and when the time came, she was able to connect us to advisors who jumped on board within a week and started to transfer our business in ways that would have taken us months to do.
Definitely check Connectd out. They are a great company to have on your business venture. I've met Emily and James in person, and they are the same lovely people you e-meet online. In fact, they are better.
