The services we recommend, and why.
We recommend a small number of services to founders. Some of these are partners, meaning if you sign up via our link, PartnershipsBuddy.com earns a referral fee.
We only partner with services we would recommend even if no fee was involved. Every partner on this page has been tested by us or our network. We say no to far more than we say yes to. If a partner stops being worth recommending, we remove them.
What it does. UK platform that matches startups with senior operators, board advisors, and Non-Executive Directors. Free for the startup.
How it works. Experienced executives join Connectd's training programs. As part of that, they do a guaranteed pro bono placement with a startup. Connectd introduces you to a vetted operator at no cost. If both sides want to continue paid after the placement, you can.
Why we recommend it. Our founder Brian has been through Connectd's Transition to Portfolio program himself, so we know how they operate from the inside. The matching is genuinely good, the team is credible, and the pro bono model means there is no financial barrier for the startup.
