Connectd is expanding into the United States.

The platform for managing and growing relationships between startups, investors and advisors says an聽 initial launch in Florida is slated for December 1st.

Founder and CEO Roei Samuel sold his first company RealSport – one of the biggest eSports platforms globally – in a multi-million-pound deal at the age of 26. He went on to become an angel investor and realised how difficult it was for both startups and investors to connect, which is why he founded Connectd.

His company has experienced 4x year-on-year growth since inception in 2021.

鈥淐onnectd brings something to the US early-stage space that no-one else offers: connecting all three sides of the early-stage ecosystem – startups, investors and advisors,鈥 said Samuel.聽

鈥淪peaking to US founders, we saw a real appetite and need for breaking down the traditional barriers between themselves and not just investors, but also advisors and independent directors who can support their growth journeys.

鈥淥ur deep set of reporting tools and real time data insights provide an unrivalled platform, allowing lightning quick communication between startups and their investors and advisors, which is key to strengthening what are the most important聽 relationships founders have.鈥
