Who it is for

Built for organisations that support many companies at once

Market access programs

Soft-landing and internationalisation programs that help companies enter new markets.

Accelerators and incubators

Give every cohort company access to experienced advisors, not just those with the best contacts.

Trade and investment agencies

Connect foreign and domestic companies with people who already work in the target market.

VCs and holding companies

Help portfolio companies find the advisor or board member they need, without a fee per hire.

How it works

From request to the right advisor

Your companies do the asking. Boardio does the searching.

01
We set up your desk
You get a co-branded request page with your name and logo, for example boardio.com/advisor-desk/your-program.
02
Your companies submit a need
They enter their website and what they need help with. We draft the search description for them and show example advisors straight away.
03
We run a full search
Boardio vets the request, publishes it to our whole network and reaches out to strong matches.
04
Your company picks
The company reviews the applicants and agrees terms directly with the advisor it chooses.
Why operators use it

One fee. No surprises.

Predictable cost

One monthly fee covers every search. Easy to budget per program or cohort.

No success fees

Your companies never get an invoice from Boardio, and you never have to report who hired whom.

Local insiders, anywhere

About 90% of Boardio searches are for advisors in a market the company is entering. Our advisors work in 120 countries.

Little admin for your team

Companies submit requests themselves. Boardio reviews and runs every search.
