Most founders hire their C-suite based on gut instinct or a frantic search through their immediate LinkedIn network.

That leads to expensive mis-hires and wasted runway.

Roei Samuel is turning executive hiring into a data science problem.

After scaling his first venture to 9 million users and exiting at age 26, Roei noticed a systemic friction in the startup ecosystem: founders couldn't find the right experts, and senior talent was burned out by the traditional 9-to-5.

So he founded Connectd to solve this using an AI-native engine that doesn't just match keywords, but analyzes a company's actual operational math.

Connectd’s AI ingests real-time data from each startup to determine exactly when they will be hitting a wall and who (CFO vs. CRO vs. CMO) is required to climb it.

Since expanding to the U.S., the platform is generating revenue 10x faster than it did in the UK, with New York City serving as the primary engine for this growth.

On February 24th, Roei joins us at Civic Hall to break down how he’s building the infrastructure for the fractional economy and why your next high-impact hire shouldn't be a full-time employee.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

The Predictive Hire: How Connectd uses AI-powered insights to identify leadership gaps before a founder even realizes they exist.
10x Expansion Playbook: The specific tactics Roei used to scale U.S. revenue 10 times faster than the UK market in just 16 months.
Runway-Friendly Leadership: When to stop searching for a full-time executive and how to leverage a fractional C-suite to preserve capital.
The Data Integration Layer: Moving beyond resumes to analyze burn rates, churn, and financial signals as the primary drivers for talent matching.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Early-Stage Founders: Stop guessing your next hire; learn to use operational data to build a specialized, fractional leadership team.
Senior Professionals: Learn how to move from corporate burnout to a high-leverage "fractional" career using intelligent algorithmic matching.
Investors: See how AI-driven reporting and expert matching can reduce the failure rate across your early-stage portfolio.

Tickets for this event include food and drinks, as well as direct access to a founder who has successfully navigated the high-stakes journey from student side-hustle to international AI-powered scale-up.

You'll also meet dozens of other high-performing entrepreneurs who are creating their next big thing. Seriously, it's some of the best founder networking in the city.

Getting a ticket guarantees admission. No waitlisting.
