About GetBoardwise.
GetBoardwise was founded to help you achieve what you thought was the unachievable.
About GetBoardwise.
At the helm of our organisation is our visionary Founder, John Hall, whose singular focus is revolutionising how you uncover opportunities. Through a range of innovative strategies, we have successfully generated countless opportunities for our esteemed clientele. We pride ourselves on being different and targeted in our approach.
The journey began with our sister company, GetCoursewise, which during the COVID-19 pandemic was instrumental in helping organisations keep their teams engaged via CPD training courses in mental health awareness, cyber security and leadership. The work we conducted was predominantly in the public sector with clients ranging from Comic Relier to various NHS trusts. Clients looking to up-skill their senior leadership teams would introduce us to them personally, and the discussions were always the same “how can I break out of the public sector?”, “I don’t want training, I want to find external Consultancy/Advisory opportunities”.
Our relentless pursuit of finding such opportunities led us to an undeniable truth: existing organisations in the space simply couldn’t meet the mark. Undeterred, we devoted ourselves to perfecting a new and distinctive model that was focused solely on opportunity generation.
In our quest for excellence, we partnered with Nova Growth Capital in 2020 and secured our first SEED round providing access to a wider team and capital to build our product. Our team consists of highly experienced Advisors, Developers, and Product Managers, all united in their commitment to delivering nothing short of the best.
At GetBoardwise, we are poised to change the game, elevating your opportunity-seeking experience to unprecedented heights.
