Another superb month with Connectd! Dan and Alex have been quite brilliant, again. Connectd have changed my buisness. It was an incredible piece of luck...they arrived at exactly the right time. Outstanding...thank you Connectd!

Problem understanding and steps to address

james is great, on point quick and super clear - so far great excperience and look forward to start and see what comes out of it !

I had the pleasure of working with James St John-Dunlop during my Connectd Board Advisor placement with RightHear, and I couldn’t be more impressed. James facilitated the entire process with clarity, warmth, and precision. He created a safe, structured space for both the founder and myself to align expectations, explore strategic goals, and build trust from day one.
His ability to synthesize complex conversations into actionable placement guidelines was outstanding. He made me feel seen—not just as a sales leader, but as someone bringing transformation, cultural insight, and mentorship to the table. The call was engaging, well-paced, and left us energized for the journey ahead.
James is a true connector and champion of meaningful advisory work. If you're navigating the transition to portfolio life, you want James in your corner.
Thank you, James!

Nathaniel was super helpful, made all interactions productive and sourced us a great fit for the team.

Seamless process

Could anyone who has been signed up to connectd board adviser programme provide some feedback please? Did you get a paid role to merit the fee?

They delivered on every promise made. What more can you ask for? The coursework was informative and well-done. The placement was a very good fit as well.

James St John-Dunlop is a great professional who cuts to the chase without wasting time. I LOVE IT! He is honest, learning quickly, and made great suggestions that made the whole experience smooth.

I have signed up for a one year programme. Although I was unable to complete the programme, Connectd provided an excellent member service. The account managers go above and beyond to support their team members (which was my case). The platform is easy to use and access and the path is easy enough to follow.

Well structured, fast placement, and clear information along the entire journey about what was needed to get started as a board advisor through the connectd platform. It took me about a month to get fully placed from when I joined.

Connectd Academy was a great aggregation of critical items to have at the ready in an advisory role. It was succinct presentation of the tools that anyone should have at the ready to be able to support startup leadership and executive teams.

Finally connect'd goyt their act together and set me up with a company that really needed my help as a financial advisor. Time will tell whether or not this placement was successful but the signs are good.

James was delightful. As I am new to this whole stage of my career and still learning my way about, James' friendly and focused presence was extremely helpful. He was considerate in his placement recommendation and provided helpful and useful guidance to get started. What a fabulous way to start the next step of this journey! Thank you!

James St John-Dunlop - give that man a raise!

Our experience with Connectd has been nothing short of absolutely fantastic. As an early-stage startup, we are short of both capital and experience. That's where Connectd has come in, helping us to install a fractional CTO in our niche in under a week.

James has been instrumental in the process, helping us to find the right person for our specific needs (art e-commerce). Thanks to everyone at Connectd, we truly feel like you've given us the wings to fly and get our startup off the ground.

Emily is very knowledgeable and supportive. Love the platform, grateful to be able to have access to such amazing advisors,

Nathaniel set up and handled the call professionally and efficiently. Everyone clear on next steps.

So far a really helpful experience. I was reached out to by someone at Connectd via LinkedIn, so I was sceptical at first, in all honesty. But every experience I have had with them so far has been really well planned and executed. With all team members being incredibly helpful - particularly Daniel who was assigned as my account manager and has appeared to well understand my business needs and so far connect me with a great match for a board advisor. Considering they're doing this all for no charge - it feels a little too good to be true to be honest?!
