Like Disney, boardsi does have negative reviews. Unfortunately, boardsi has mostly negative reviews. Similar to other reported experiences, I was initially contacted via cold call and set up an appointment to learn more. About 10 minutes into the introductory call and after hearing about the possibilities, came the hook that the next step was to schedule an onboarding call and a credit card was required. After doing a quick google search I saw nothing but negative reviews. I confronted the boardsi rep about this who replied, "even Disney gets negative reviews" which I responded, "sure but at least they have a known brand and baordsi is completely unknown and not deserving of such a leap of faith." I'm not saying boardsi is a scam but I'd say there are much better ways to spend $200 bucks a month.

Scam alert. This is one of the biggest frauds in America. First they call you saying you match with one of their companies so you set up an appointment with someone who claims they are responding to your request. The caller then is always late for the "appointment" and acts as if it's your fault for the wrong time. If you ask any tough questions, you will get hung up on immediately. Scam! Run as fast as you can away from these people.

Business Owner/Consultant After being contacted about the potential of serving on various boards multiple times, I responded directly with specific criteria and concerns. With those seemingly being put to rest, I reluctantly booked a call. They were late in calling. After being very clear again about concerns, they gave a fast run through of the types of boards. I stopped them to ask how they, as a firm, were compensated. Then came the pitch. I'm all about capitalism and profitability but this was a very misleading process to promote how they work on behalf of companies to help board seats with no reference at all to the fees they require from potential board members. I was up front in stating that I had little interest in serving on boards and it would have to be a very specific fit if I were to make time for it. When I shared that the monthly fee was a show-stopper for something I had little interest in to begin with, that young lad immediately hung up. In reading the boardsi reply to my review, it's just not accurate. While the call was just a few minutes late, it was after 9:02 EST as that was when I checked the time and my calendar to make sure I had the correct day, even after receiving multiple reminder emails from them for me to be prepared. Further, the moment I said the $198/month fee that had never been shared previously was a showstopper, the call was disconnected. There was no "thank you for your time" or anything similar as the boardsi reply suggests. I was trying to be fair with a two star review but this lack of accepting responsibility while all but calling my review dishonest is very telling.

A total scam A total scam. First a woman from a call center calls and asks if I am interested in a specific board assignment and if so, to schedule a call with her manager (Sean Irons in my case) to learn more about this specific opportunity. Then Sean "cannot" share any specific details about the opportunity but instead tries to sell a paid membership for boardsi that might or might not lead to a board seat. This is spam and a complete waste of time. Shame on people like these.

Lisa Williams Lisa Williams, Leadafi, absolutely hands down was the distinguishing factor in my positive Boardsi experience. Lisa’s competence in writing my executive summary for posting was astounding. In Lisa’s first version was transformative of my resume - a complex industry specific CV. I am a professional writer myself and I have never reviewed a piece where I had no edits. It took me a long time to make one style edit of one word. The clarity in explaining in prose, my resume was perfect. I mean perfect. Boardsi is lucky to have Lisa and do whatever you can to keep her. Best regards, Douglas Cote CEO Emeric Capital
