How it works
Simple process, no surprises
From posting your search to working with your advisor — at your own pace. Every advisor you see has actively applied to your search, not just matched by an algorithm.
Step 1
Describe the advisor you need — market, expertise, network. Takes 5 minutes. Your search is published to 11,000+ advisors globally.
FreeStep 2 — optional
Not sure how to frame your search? Our team is happy to jump on a short call to help you define what you need before we go live. Completely optional — you can also go straight from your form submission.

Interested advisors apply directly to your search. From the applicants, Boardio selects three and delivers their full profiles at no cost. You are free to reach out and start working with any of them directly.
FreeStep 4
Alongside the three full profiles, you receive tailored anonymous summaries of all other qualified applicants to your search — typically around ten. Each summary is written from the advisor's application and LinkedIn profile, covering their relevant experience and background. If you want to see their full profiles too, you unlock them for a one-time fee of €890.
Step 5
Boardio facilitates the introduction and steps back. The advisor relationship is yours to manage — no ongoing fees, no percentage of compensation, no strings.
