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](https://www.linkedin.com/in/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](https://www.connectd.com/us)** 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 ](https://www.civichall.org/)**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**.
