• We differentiate ourselves by working with executives that are developed through our CEO First Program which has been in place since 2005.

• Executives spend 40+ hours in prep work to develop a niche deal thesis that will be delivered to a funnel of privately held PE firm targets. We train the executives on how to convince those owners to come to the negotiating table.

• With ACG you schedule your own meetings, and this takes hours of your time. At BlackmoreConnects, we do this for you. Plus, we provide a new selection of executives at every conference. Therefore, Capital Providers may choose to attend all 6 conferences a year.

• Our Talent Group makes Private Equity the #1 priority. We have a database of 100,000+ “backable executives” that we have been building since 2005.

• There is a 24-month tail after each conference for deals that are realized. Should a deal close with one of the pre-qualified Executives via the BlackmoreConnects™ pipeline, a standard Lehman Fee (5, 4, 3, 2,1) will apply.

• For Consultant, Advisor, or other Experts Fee: 33% of all monies shall be paid.

• For C-level positions: 33% of first 12 months of employment as determined by total starting salary and expected bonus accepted by candidate.

• If hired on a contract basis: 33% of total monthly compensation for the first twelve months of the contract or until contract is terminated.

• For Board Member positions: Any board positions filled by executives of Blackmore Partners, Inc. will follow fee schedule based upon annual company revenue.

• 9-20 per conference and more in-between if you register for six.

• Our target is 2 Executives for every Private Equity firm attending. The lowest end is one to one.

• The average is 12, and the maximum is 20 firms per event.

• One week before you arrive at the conference, you will get all of the Executive’s deal thesis, deal funnel, bio, and resume. You choose your top 9.

• 1 Conference, $3,999 each.
• 2 Conferences, $2499 each.
• 3 Conferences, $2000 each.
• 4 Conferences, $ 2000 each.
• 5 Conferences, $1500 each.
• 6 Conferences, $1000 each.

• Please note that due to attendee capacity constraints, you can attend a maximum of three out of the six conferences offered each year. 

• How can it compare to ACG?  The goal of ACG is primarily to meet bankers. 

• ACG Capital has 100’s of Private Equity firms and 1000’s of vendors wanting to get your attention; it’s too much mental noise. 

• You do it all for ACG – consider how much your time is worth: $500 an hour? $250 an hour?

• At BlackmoreConnects™ we do it all! 

• We started developing this process in 2005 for Blackmore Partners, Inc., a Private Equity independent sponsor for Executive-led deal flow.

• We have been hosting conferences since 2016.

• We have 17 years of experimentation.

• We have 17 years of working towards a measurable, repeatable process.
