5 Star experience for Connectd and Nathaniel Opedo

Working with Nathaniel Opedo was an absolute pleasure.

From our first interaction, Nathaniel demonstrated a rare blend of professionalism, empathy, and strategic clarity. He listened deeply, understood my values and trajectory, and made the perfect connection with Ingomu (a relationship that already feels purpose-aligned and high-impact).

Nathaniel doesn’t just broker introductions; he builds bridges that matter. If you’re looking for someone who curates opportunities with insight and integrity, Nathaniel is your guy.

Grateful for the connection, and looking forward to what we all build from here.

Grateful for Connectd.co and their powerful network!

As a founder deep in the “go to market” phase, I’ve been looking for experienced advisors who’ve been there—people who understand the nuances of scaling, customer acquisition, and product positioning. Connectd has delivered.

They introduced me to an incredible advisor with exactly the right experience to help grow my business. The process was efficient, thoughtful, and tailored—and it’s clear they genuinely understand the challenges startups face.

If you’re a founder looking for expert support—or an advisor eager to share your knowledge—Connectd is the real deal. Highly recommend.

Hideous constant spamming from Connectd.

I’ve never been spammed so much by one company. Without fail someone from Connectd or associated with Connectd will contact me every week. Hideous experience.

Excellent onboarding experience

I've had a brilliant experience with the Connectd team so far. From onboarding with Eva to the online training and Daniel Watson matching me with an exciting US AI startup. Everything's happened so quickly and I can't wait to start on our journey to success together. All praise to the Connectd team! Thank you!
