As Connectd do not invest in startups ourselves, it is simply impossible to guarantee investment. Our ‘Connectd for Startups’ members are provided with guaranteed applications for pro-bono advisors, but we are unable to guarantee investment into any business regardless of membership choice. Furthermore, companies are 61% more likely to raise investment with a full and experienced advisory board.
We have headquarters in London and Miami, but Connectd is a truly global ecosystem. Since we began in February 2020, we have facilitated connections and provided support to companies on a global scale. Whilst the majority of our core team is based in London and Miami, we are not limited to operating in these locations. We have a remote-first attitude that allows us to assist companies worldwide.
Our ambition is to make and manage meaningful connections regardless of location and ensure that for Founders, Investors and Portfolio Professionals looking to expand their network, we can provide the relevant tools to make lasting relationships.
