How the Connector Program Works
1. Identify a Qualified Business
Think a company aligns with our investment criteria? We’d love to hear from you.
2. Submit an Initial Profile
Use the form below or email us to share a few key details and help us evaluate the opportunity.
3. Initial Review
We’ll assess the opportunity. If it aligns with our strategy, we’ll request a warm introduction.
4. Facilitate the Introduction
You help initiate the conversation and confirm the business leader’s interest in engaging.
5. Earn a Referral Fee
If we move forward and close a partnership, you’ll earn a referral fee equal to 2% of the capital we invest in the business. You can receive this as cash at closing, or—if you prefer—elect to invest it alongside us in the company.
Here’s what that could look like:
| Investment Size | Referral Fee |
|---|---|
| $1,000,000 | $20,000 |
| $2,500,000 | $50,000 |
