Salary benchmarks
Our take
Building a startup is hard work when you don't have all the right expertise in-house. Most early-stage teams can't afford senior hires, yet still face complex challenges around product, finance, and growth. And that's where things can stall.
Connectd is changing that by giving founders access to top-tier talent on a fractional basis (think experienced professionals who support multiple companies at once). The platform does so by using AI to analyse business data and matching them with the expert they need.
With fresh funding, Connectd has powered over 25,000 founder-advisor connections and grown to $11M in annual recurring revenue. As fractional work becomes the new normal, Connectd is in the perfect position to lead the shift.
