• 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 of prework to develop a niche deal thesis, a funnel of privately held targets and they work to engages those owners to get them to the negotiating table.

• As you know, 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 conferences.  Therefore, Capital Providers chose to attend chose to attend all 6 conferences a year.

• We also have a Talent Group that is 100% where Private Equity is the #1 priority. We have a data base of 100,000+ “backable executives” that we have been building with since 2005.

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

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

• For C-level positions: 33% of first twelve 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.

• 6-12 per conference and more in-between if you register for six.

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

• The average is 12, and the maximum is 25 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, $2,999 each.
• 2 Conferences, $2499 each.
• 3 Conferences, $2000 each.
• 4 Conferences, $ 2000 each.
• 5 Conferences, $1500 each.
• 6 Conferences, $1000 each.

• For best results, attend six and never stop.
• Or, attend one to test the process out.

• 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 at you; 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?
