MenuWhere to find individuals with as large as possible network of well established relationships with C board executives of public ( ! ) companies?
Hi, I'm looking for some suggestions please, where could I find people with as well as possible established business relationships (the network) with board members of public companies (publicly traded stock on stock exchanges)? Actually either executives (particularly CFOs) or non-executives. I tried contacting Executive Search firms but they declined me just because my inquiry has nothing to do with recruitment. Another idea I already got is using "business development" keyword phrase on LinkedIn and hope someone, within needed areas of expertise (corporate finance, capital markets, investment banking, etc.), will be stating on the profile that he or she has such network of known relationships with executives with whom he/she can get in touch directly at any…

You need to create a profile on Linkedin and be active, post and comment on others profiles. It's a process but people help people they know. Executives are extremely busy people and they protect their time. Also try Facebook groups, again you'll have to join and interact- that's networking in social media. All the best.

How do I find board members for my Christian non-profit?
The best way to find board members is to find people in your industry (or market) that show signs of being someone who would enjoy being on your board. These are typically people who 1) Are on other boards similar to the kind of organization you're starting 2) Are part of organizations that give back to the community 3) Publicly display that they are charitable and give back. Using those filters, then you'll want to find people who have the right type of experience that will help you where you need. Ex: Operations, Fund Raising, Marketing, etc. The best way to get started is to find someone who's done it before and ask them directly (wink wink).

Why am I being declined all the time (needing improvement of Value Proposition Articulation?)
It’s pretty simple, your offering has a lot of issues for what and how you’re targeting - you product, money, it’s a “commodity” so why you, your money, your firm? - The big boys (public) have tremendous relationships with big, known, credible capital sources. - They’re sophisticated so they know your capital has to be roughly at the same costs as the many trusted avenues they currently have for capital - I mentioned “trusted” a few times as it’s KEY. Does the firm you represent have a well known brand or known trust elements? - They are public companies and risk adverse so the likelihood of them entertaining a cold call or cold email from an unknown capital source is very low. Why? All things being similar they’re much better off taking and announcing capital from a trusted branded bank or firm. - Trust: with all the capital scams out there triggered, especially online, they are likely also reacting to scam risk first. Unless you have a trusted product (brand, people, story etc) and a way to get in front of prospects in a trusted way (conferences v email) i think the odds are really tough the bigger the company. Perhaps your product offering fit smaller or growth stage companies who have less options and aren’t public facing where Capital brand is so important. BBS

It makes 2 year i try to win money online i found nothing serious i try dropshipping, cpa offer, to rent villa with booking, etc, i such a mentor now!
It's disheartening to know your plight! Don't beat yourself up over it so hard. But you should know that you are not alone in this. Lemme begin with similar qualms. I was agitated over the 'get rich quick' scheme over the internet. The internet as we know is filled with scams. Those voracious over getting quick result might fall prey into a well planned financial hoax. Then we ask: is there actually something genuine on the internet? Offcourse yes! I have been in this for over 2years now... And I have proven records to show. In essence, I know a significant wealth ground breaking tools. E.g are the crypto airdrop and bounties. This venture would enable you get free money by doing simple and quick tasks. Should you be interested in knowing more or other options, hit me up for a conversation and mentorshipSF

How to evaluate an offer to join an advisory board of a start up
The point of advising is to have fun but it's also to align with the upside of the business. So the things to consider / ensure are. - Are they venture backeable ... if they don't plan (or you don't see them being able to) raise venture capital, then being a formal advisor (with equity) won't matter. - Do you trust them. As an advisor, you're extended your brand and credibility to the team so you need to ensure they'll be good stewards of it. - Are they coacheable ... when you talk, do they listen and are open to the advice. Do they take action? As for compensation & commitment, here's what's normal. - 0.1-1% equity in the early stages .. usually over 2 years vesting monthly. - You make yourself available for 1-2 hour per month, and help throughout making introductions, reviewing documents,etc Personally, I think it's super important to ensure you tell what you won't be doing. Ex: I won't be accountable for a work product, as in - I'm not going to run your marketing / development team :) You never know what people expect, so it's best to discuss it upfront. Also, if you plan on doing formal advisory (for compensation) - it's ideal to get atleast 10+ companies to help out in that format to ever see a financial return ... your essentially acting much like a VC. So just understand, there's a very high likely hood that it won't go anywhere financially .. but it can be super rewarding. The key is that you enjoy spending time with the team and learning about their journey.DM

Where can I find gender and diversity information about a company's board members?
Hi If you don't want to go to each website individually, the only other method I can think of would be to find other reports already made which cover gender inequality in corporations and collect the information from there. But if you want something that keeps being updates and is accurate, the bets would be to write a script (code) that would check the relevant page of each company every few months. Yes, it would be a lot of work finding all the pages in the beginning, but afterwards at least the updates would be automatic. I know a guy who writes great scripts if you need. Good luck I've successfully helped over 350 entrepreneurs, startups and businesses, and I would be happy to help you. After scheduling a call, please send me some background information so that I can prepare in advance - thus giving you maximum value for your money.
