CEO Exchange

Matchstar's industry innovating ”CEO Exchange” provides opportunities for investors to connect with outstanding early stage CEO talent. All of our participating CEOs have successfully scaled multiple, institutionally backed companies through key milestones and, in many cases, successful exits. This is a "no strings attached" complimentary service available only to qualifying VCs, private equity firms, and CEOs. Many of our participant CEOs have recently completed significant M&A transactions or are winding down company operations. Others are seeking capital for their next exciting venture or looking to use their specific industry experience, as an advisor, to help early stage companies solve key problems. Should an investor utilize a CEO in any capacity – including in a temporary or full time role – there is absolutely no placement fee due as a result.

Benefits for Investors

• Qualifying institutions will have free access to exceptional early stage CEO talent and the ability to build direct relationships with them without any fee agreement or commitment.
  
  
• Investors receive password access to review our "CEO Showcase" and can then independently reach out to any CEO to establish dialog.
  
  
• Each online CEO profile comes with the following information:
  
  
  • A Matchstar bio template indicating the CEO's domain history, functional area of expertise, formerly held positions, stage experience, current city of residence, past institutional funding resources, and key accomplishments.
    
  • One paragraph personal bio – written by the CEO
    
  • Current resume/CV
    
  • Matchstar interview questionnaire and answers – a very detailed and unique insight into a CEO’s capabilities.
    
  • Highlight sheet of former press/media links
    
  • A direct Matchstar email address for the CEO in the Program
    
    
• Ability to hire any CEO– in any capacity – FREE of any current or future search fee. This is a true "no strings attached " program.

Benefits for CEOs

• Opportunity to be showcased in front of Matchstar's 5,500 person institutional investor network, which includes personal site biographies and accompanying documents (see "Benefits for Investors" above). Potential CEO participants are highly vetted through an application process into Matchstar’s “Entrepreneur in Residence” [EIR] Program.
  
  
• A "relationship based process" for attracting investor capital, finding new personal leadership opportunities, and strategic consulting engagements. The “CEO Exchange” Program is designed to do the opposite of traditional job board/recruiter based CEO positions. It seeks a high level of engagement through investor relationship for placement into positions that are rarely "listed."
  
  
• A true partner relationship, where Matchstar provides an attractive earnings potential and backend “opportunity exploration” process for you at no cost.
  
  
• Access to Matchstar's eco-network of over 8,000 early stage company CEOs and Founders.
  
  
• Access to Matchstar's research team and the ability to launch micro, targeted searches.
  
  
• Connection to the other participating Matchstar showcased CEOs.
  
  

This is a joint/proactive approach between investor, CEO, and Matchstar to increase access for candidates and venture backed boards across the country. To inquire about qualifying for participation in the “CEO Exchange through our EIR Program", please contact us at connor@matchstar.com.
