Hi, I’m Ryan, one of the directors of Educating Beyond Borders — a global learning venture helping people thrive through economic uncertainty.
We’re reimagining education to be more inclusive, accessible, and future-proof.
I joined TPC to connect with mission-driven leaders and find a co-founder, CFO or fractional C-suite partner who’s excited to help us secure sponsorships and grow revenue.
We’ve been invited to pitch for £100K from NatWest and are in talks with a funder backing us with up to £250K.
Excited to be here to collaborate and build something meaningful together.

👋 Hi everyone, I’m Peter Dickinson — strategist and fractional Chief Commercial Officer (CCO).
I work with ambitious businesses to align their marketing and sales functions so they operate seamlessly as one commercial engine. By combining AI, automation, and practical strategy, I help eliminate the “leaky bucket” syndrome — ensuring marketing attracts the right Ideal Customer Profile (ICP), and sales converts them into profitable, long-term customers with strong lifetime value and efficient acquisition costs.
As founder of KUB Digital, we offer a fully managed fractional CMO service — you get a dedicated lead marketer embedded in your business, supported by a team of fractional specialists who cover everything from strategy to execution. Because our team is fractional too, you get access to the expertise you need, only when you need it — without the full-time cost.
I joined the Portfolio Collective to meet like-minded people who are building impactful, fo…

This is a great way to get started with the community!
Let us know if you need anything as you start to navigate around the platform

Hi there Peter, nice to meet you. We’ve been invited to pitch for £100,000 in London and I’m wondering if anyone in your team would be a right fit to join us for this opportunity? Thanks
-
Yes, we would love to help. If you could let me have your work email, I will introduce you to my daughter who runs my business and has supported such pitches for our clients. My email is [email protected] which would work better as I am about to go on holiday – I do check my emails so that I don’t come back to a ton of them on my return. Charleh’s email is [email protected] and her diary is: https://calendly.com/charlehdickinson/30-discovery-call LinkedIn prof…

Hey folks 👋
I’ve been quietly working on something I wish I had during my own fundraising rounds.
It’s called RaiseDone — an AI-powered coach that helps early-stage founders get their pitch materials and data room investor-ready, without losing weeks (or sanity).
Right now, it helps you:
• Get personalized guidance on your pitch deck
• Structure your data room in minutes
• Actually feel like you’re making progress, not guessing
We’re just getting started and really want to build this with founders, not just for them.
If you’re open to trying it out and sharing feedback, I’d love to invite you to the platform: https://app.raisedone.com
Send me a DM and I’ll give you a promo code for 1 month of Pro access free 🙌
Appreciate any thoughts, feedback, or brutal honesty — and happy to return the favor on anything you’re working on.

Hi, everyone. I’m sharing here a coaching opportunity.
The CEO of a company I have invested in is looking for a leadership coach. His company is based in Belgium and is a small but fast-growing SaaS infrastructure business. See below how he describes the need. Please let me know if you or someone you know would be the right person to support him and his team.
”I am looking for someone who can help me develop my work and leadership style as a CEO and help me have more impact. And similar topics but mid/senior management level for my direct reports: communication, meeting management, leadership, etc. ”

I know someone within my network (not a member here) who is based in eastern France and is bilingual. Feel free to connect if that is of interest, and I can share details for an introduction.

Great, I’ll connect. But forgot to mention that English is fine for them… Bilingual is a plus…

Sounds like a great opportunity, Geoffroy – thanks for sharing!

Hi Geoffroy – I’d love to help out. I run a leadership company and specialise in exactly this – leadership coaching and training. Take a look at my profile or website (www.mapandcompass.consulting). My background is military and police, and I used to work with NATO Special Forces in Mons, Belgium so I know the area well. Chat?

Thanks Ben Legg for adding me in. Geoffroy Bauer I’d love to talk. I’m a fractional Commercial Director and Executive Coach working with Founders and Directors in their leadership roles. I look forward to hearing. With thanks Tricia

Thank you for the tagging. Hello Geoffroy Bauer, I could also be a potential match for your client. 25 years as an executive coach, communication expert. I am bilingual English-French.

Hi, Geoffroy Bauer, I’d be interested to talk with Simon. I’ve worked with a number of CEOs and their reports – including in SaaS infrastructure – developing their individual leadership styles and ways of working to maximise their impact. Please feel free to share my profile and introduce me if desired.

Hi Geoffroy, I am a Career and Leadership Coach with decades of experience in sales and leadership at Google, Clear Channel and CBS. I work with leaders to unlevel their communication, meeting management and feedback to create environments where people thrive. I welcome an opportunity to discuss my approach and experience.

Hi Geoffroy, thanks for sharing! Not sure if I’d be a fit for him but it sounds like working with his direct reports could be a good fit for the type of coaching that I do. I’m a Leadership Coach for new leaders and managers, especially those who are more on the introverted/quiet side and struggle with communication, executive presence and management. Happy to have a chat with the CEO about their needs (if he’s still looking ;))
Here’s my booking link: https://calend…

Just joined today. Need to get around to finishing my profile. Thought I would just say hello. I’ve spent most of my career within media agencies (WPP/Publicis/Dentsu) , currently consulting at LEGO. I’ve been lucky enough to have lived and worked in Hong Kong & Miami and am a Strategist by day and a new Stand-Up comedian by night. Hi everyone!
