boardly
Choosing who’s on your board is one of the most important hiring decisions you will have to make as a leader. And yet founders still have to rely on personal networks, or VC introductions.
Our founders, Sandy Willis and Scott Watson, have each spent over a decade in executive search, and they’ve seen up close how broken board hiring really is. Founders wait months to find candidates and have to pay high agency fees if they don’t have a network.
That’s what we’re building Boardly to fix, so every founder can find the right people for the journey ahead. Better boards, better outcomes.
The raise.
The regulator.
The first big customer.
