The Algorithmic C-Suite: Scaling the Fractional Economy with AI

24 February Online

About this event

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.
