The Pitch

Idea Description

KinBoard Network is a curated marketplace and readiness assessor for independent directors and advisors to family businesses. Families struggle to find truly independent, culturally aligned board members, while capable professionals lack visibility into these opportunities. We target African family-controlled companies seeking their first or second independent director and seasoned executives or professionals open to governance roles. The product: - Provides a structured readiness assessment for both families (governance maturity) and candidates (skills, conflict profiles) - Uses a matching engine based on values, sector, and complexity rather than just titles - Offers tooling for mandates (letter of appointment templates, evaluation frameworks, fee benchmarks) - Includes ongoing boardroom support (agenda frameworks, resolution tracking, conflict mediation partners). Revenue comes from placement fees plus subscription access for families and candidates, with upsell into training via LegacyLab. The curated, reputation-driven network and feedback loops create strong two-sided marketplace defensibility.
