You know your stuff cold, but when you try to explain it, it comes out like word soup.
What if you could fix it all in 15 minutes?
No fluff. No theory. Just rapid-fire coaching that cuts through the BS and gets you to the heart of what you're really trying to say.

Not moving from market making and specialist to become an off-floor trading firm or hedge fund when I sold the business, I chose to take the money and go

Welcome to Gildre, happy to have you on board 👏

#05_opportunities - October 27, 2025 at 05:34 PM

i think it's about talking with Boardy and telling him what u are looking for, and then tweaking your reach out with him, I do not see why not, speak with him

#05_opportunities - October 27, 2025 at 05:28 PM

I think its all about the prompt, being specific as to what you are looking for and what criteria

#05_opportunities - October 27, 2025 at 04:36 PM

Hello @channel, I have been speaking with Boardy AI for some time. Have a read about what he just sent me.

Hey Michael J.,
In Jan, I raised an $8M seed round on my own. Since then, I've introduced thousands of founders to investors who have raised millions more.
Recently, my team gave me a few upgrades and decided to give 100 founders early access to help them close their next fundraising round before the end of the year.
If you know a founder who's raising and could use a boost from my network of over 20k investors, I'd love an introduction!
Simply cc them directly into this email or send them this link to sign up https://tally.so/r/m6XbZB
This will be fun!
Boardy

I am on the board of a non-profit. https://www.vpgrp.org/ The Founder, Nyene, pronounced Yenin, has been given $10k a month of Google ads to use. He has someone supposedly working for the non-profit using the ads, but there are no results at all. Is there someone in this community, or do you know someone who understands Google AdWords and is willing to help run them for the non-profit? He is paying a small amount monthly; someone would like to give back and work with the founder.

Here is his message to the board members----For the past two months, Ellen has been running our Google Ads, but I haven’t seen any results. I’m not very tech savvy, so I’m asking for your support. I’ve sent Ellen questions to understand what she has done and the results she’s produced, but I need your help making sure everything makes sense.
I’m paying her $150 per month out of my own pocket, yet there has been no visible progress. We receive $10,000 per month in Google Ad credits, but we are not taking advantage of this opportunity to grow our nonprofit. I previously emailed more information about what Ellen said she has done, so please review that as well and let me know your thoughts.
