Yachting Ventures is set to host a Start-Up Pavilion at IBEX in Tampa, Florida after successful stints at METSTRADE in Amsterdam.
Marine Resources and Yachting Ventures are partnering to help connect startups and more experienced industry professionals. Their first endeavor is to create a Startup Advisor Pool, which aims to support startups through consultancy, board directorship, and equity partnership opportunities.
This Marine Resources and Yachting Ventures alliance will solve startups’ budget limitations by connecting them with experienced executives and business leaders. Marine Resources will use its network to recruit C-suite-level professionals who can offer their expertise to help startups navigate growth challenges.
“We know how hard it is to build a startup and finding the right team is one of the hardest bits. We’ve seen time and time again how a strong advisory board can play a crucial part in a startups’ journey and success, particularly if they are raising funding,” said Gabbi Richardson, founder of Yachting Ventures. “Exclusive access to the Startup Advisor Pool will add significant value to our community members, and we’re excited to work with James on this initiative!”
Yachting Ventures has collaborated with more than 300 startups and scaleups to develop innovative products and services.
“I remember how hard it was to connect with the most experienced professionals in the industry when I was starting out and wish I had something like the Startup Advisor Pool to tap into. Over the last 20 years, we have built up an extensive network of professionals who will be able to add a lot of value,” said James Ward, CEO at Marine Resources. “Through our Startup Advisor Pool, we can match the right skills to the needs of each business, building valuable commercial partnerships that drive success in the marine sector.”
Experienced professionals from the Yachting Ventures community are invited to contribute. To learn more and apply to join the pool, contact James at Marine Resources at [email protected]. Startups should contact Gabbi at Yachting Ventures at [email protected].
