Nathaniel helped me connect with my first advisor position. The recommendations were spot on and Nathaniel was professional and efficient getting this relationship setup . I am looking forward to my further opportunities through Connected.

Having an idea for a start-up is one thing. Understanding how to navigate the tricky areas of marketing, sales, tech, finance and legal to ensure your new business doesn't become a statistic adds additional layers of complexity. Connectd has a vast pool of advisors and experts to help with these challenges and to guide you to hopefully becoming super successful.
This is a highly recommended (if not essential) platform. Add in to the mix extremely helpful liaisons such as James St John-Dunlop, who can't do enough to ensure success between advisor and founders and you'll realise this is a vital service, extremely necessary for your start-up to survive and grow.

A good concept and model. I found the advisor, Daniel to be of great help and is very meticulous and apt in connecting and onbaarding the advisors, managing the entire process extremely well and efficiently.

Misleading scam. I received this email from one of their representatives via LinkedIn.
Dear...
I help connect startups & scaleups to prospective board advisors, and non-execs.
Your background and expertise would be a great fit for our network. Would you be interested in board advisory or non-exec opportunities?
.....
I would have expected there to be roles available that they wanted to connect me with directly. The truth is, they want to sell training courses with a promise of a Pro Bono role.
On investigation, I see their Head of the NED network scammed me with a similar model in 2017, which cost me £1,500. Lots of promises and no return.
Steer clear unless you like snake oil.

Daniel Watson has done a phenomenal job of connecting us with our ideal 3 advisors.
From start to finish his performance has been stellar, keenly listening to our current situation and the vision we have for our company in order to find advisors that best suit our needs.
In all honesty, I thought he would be able to fulfil the task of finding one good advisor, maybe two at a stretch but to not only find all three within 24-hours but for them to tick every one of our boxes speaks volumes about his work ethic and the standards of excellence Connectd adheres to.
My first time writing a review for a company ever and I can't think of a better one to do it for than Connectd - thank you!

Nathanial has connected me with four experts this year, and the experience has been excellent across the board. Two are brand-new placements, and I’m already encouraged by how well we’re aligned. The other two have been outstanding—especially one CMO who I’ll be moving forward with. On top of that, I also secured one placement on my own, and that collaboration is going really well too.

Emily provided a clear agenda and let the meeting flow within the framework. She was both friendly and proffessional.

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!

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?
