Connectd Recensioni 651

Harriet has been so helpful in my Connectd journey! She's pairing me with the right people inside and outside her org. My first placement is still my advisor today.

The academy and training programme itself is excellent. However, it's all too abstract - I still don't really have a grasp on what Connectd can do for me.

What a fantastic opportunity to help others out!!! Connectd is an amazing company/platform/process. Could not be happier!

I have been a mentor with Connectd for over 3 years. During that time I have seen people of various backgrounds going through the programme finding it useful to secure their first fractional or advisory role to then move into a portfolio career. I happily recommend the programme to anyone who is unsure how to take the first step and is looking for some theoretical and hands on learning. Best of both worlds.

Excellent infrastructure and communication from leadership energize my work. I appreciate the caliber of the program, the rigor, and the expectations set for mentees. I am proud to be affiliated with this global program that provides future advisors and board members with the substance and experience they need to elevate their careers.

My account manager really noted my requirements and saw to it that the profiles we got were a good fit.

More importantly the team we have assembled i think will be great , they are enthusiastic , thorough, and on early evidence cautious and calculated, challenging to get to the heart of defining our strategy as a new business.

Working with Connectd has been a fantastic experience. We were paired with an advisor who quickly understood our challenges and brought sharp, practical product strategy insight within the first month.
I would highly recommend to any startup looking for strategic support to scale!

Agent who signed me up didn't cover all of the ground and set the best expectation (I hear he's moved on now). Mentor is good, but the pro bono placement is not strong, but I will support as best as I can. The founder was so effusively delighted that I had accepted I would imagine that he's been turned down a few times. What is a little disappointing is that there are no strong matches to my experience, as most companies seem to be after their own sector experience. So a key piece of feedback would be to run a dummy search on a potential advisor or NED prior to them signing up, to identify those that may struggle to find something (like me, as there's nothing in healthcare coming up). I've also not heard from anyone at Connectd so am feeling a bit out there right now. In summary I am left wondering whether the investment of several thousand pounds is actually worth it. As it stands, it's a 'No'.

Incredibly helpful to be able to work with long-time business professionals and benefit from their experience - crucial as we’re scaling from startup artisanal brand to serious category challenger.

After my first call I was introduced to 3 experts in related fields within 24 hours, and in conversation with them within the first week. Great experience so far.

Great idea with the matching service and an intro call with Connectd, but I am a bit unsure what happens after that— any guidance for the “intro call” would be appreciated, how many connections are allowed? I’ve tried reaching out to Connectd for answers yet I seem to not be able to connect with Connectd after that first call…

Connectd did an excellent job of having HIGH quality advisors on hand. Our business practices and team got a major boost in morale and forward momentum when we brought on Connectd advisors. We interviewed 4 and move forward with 3. Our advisors immediately had valuable contributions, deep funds of knowledge, and were delightful to work with.

Connected is like dream come true. Words can't explain my satisfaction since I joined. The team is amazing. Everyone has been super helpful and so kind. The Advisors are amazing with loads of passion and experience to help founders. I highly recommend, 100 stars if I could

Training was completely AI generated, and poor quality. This has been a waste of £5,000. Deeply dissapointed in the expreince. If I could go back, I would have never signed up.

Informative Training. The training pack for Board Advisors is well organised and laid out with interactive elements and guidance explaining the key differences between the BA role and previous types of role.

Have been working with Connectd for just over 6 months and has been transformative. Of the 3 advisors we initially were assigned we've kept 2 on past the placement period as board advisors who help us define our company strategy. Harriet was, and continues to be a huge help to the team. As an early stage startup it can be difficult to understand how to navigate these relationships contractually and fairly, so having an engaged and switched on CSM was more important than we realised. Would recommend Connectd to anyone looking to gear up their business to scale.

They’ve been brilliant at changing our thinking and bringing structure to how we build.

We had weekly hour long advisor sessions with strategic input on product, journey optimisation, prioritisation and OKRs. They also introduced a clear framework for user journey mapping and helped us improve our roadmap and prioritisation process.

A big win was automating customer feedback so our roadmap stays focused on what customers are actually telling us. I’d highly recommend Connectd to any founder looking for practical, high impact senior support.

I joined Connectd to pivot from staff role into a fractional executive. The Academy is excellent in its content and it encourages the learner to think for him/herself, so it is not simply a video-watching exercise.

We brought on an advisor through connectd to help with product and GTM strategy. The onboarding process was seamless. No friction, no lengthy back-and-forths.

They matched us really well and we've seen a huge impact already.

If you're a founder looking for specialised help without the overhead of hiring full-time, worth a look. Really happy.

Great service and James works hard to understand your needs. When a placement feel through (advisors decision) he worked hard to find a better replacement.

The quality of my other advisor is outstanding.
