One-to-one meetings.
After the registration of your account you can send meeting requests to any community member.
To send a meeting request you need to choose a relevant user’s profile and press the button ‘Send Meeting Request’.
All sent meeting requests can be found in the section “My Requests”.
Sending a meeting request presumes a request for a one-to-one meeting at one of the upcoming club gatherings announced in the “Events” section.
To send a meeting request you need to select an event where you would like to have a one-to-one meeting with a chosen participant and send a participation request to this event.
If your participation in the event has been approved and you see your profile name on the list of participants of the event, you can send meeting requests to all other interesting participants of this event.
For the one-to-one meetings to happen, several conditions shall be met:
- Confirmed attendance to the event from both participants;
- Mutual agreement of both participants to have this meeting.
- If your request was not approved by the other participant of a requested meeting and the time of the event has passed, to request a meeting with them at another event you need to send your meeting request again.
- Status of a meeting request can be checked in the section ‘My Requests’.
If any community members are interested in meeting you one-to-one they can send you a meeting request.
If someone has sent you a request for a meeting, you can see it in the section ‘My Requests’.
All meeting requests mean a request for having a one-to-one meeting at one of upcoming club gatherings with a chosen participant.
Each incoming meeting request contains information about the event during which you are being to have this on-line one-to-one meeting.
For a meeting to happen it is required for you to:
- Accept the incoming meeting request.
- Send a participation request to take part in this event.
- Get approval from the leaders of the club to take part in this event.
- Join the on-line event according to the event’s schedule.
- One-to-one meetings schedule.
If the one-to-one meeting was approved by the club leaders during a club event, such meeting will show on your meetings schedule. You can see your meeting schedule in the section ‘My Requests’ and in the meetings schedule on the Event page.
Each meeting included in your schedule will have a preliminary start and end time.
The meeting time shows in GST (Dubai time).
If you have sent a participation request to the event and got approval to participate, you see your profile among participants on the event and you have received link to join the event, but you don’t have any pre-set meetings – don’t worry, Your meetings will show closer to the time of the event or during the event itself.
One of the reasons for the absence of pre-set meetings is the lack of sent meeting requests to other participants of the event. The absence of outgoing meeting requests complicates planning of your meetings in the most accurate and relevant manner according to your interests.
The meetings are being planned based on 2 parameters: mutual interest based on meeting requests and investment interests stated in each user’s profile. If there are no outgoing or incoming meeting requests, then the personal club assistant assigned to the participant is planning their meetings based on mutual investment interests stated on the profiles of participants.
If you have registered to participate in the event as an investor then the main priority while planning your meetings will be with fundraisers and investment project owners.
If you have registered to participate in the event as an investor you can meet with any community members of your interest, including investors, on the condition that you have a membership in the Club. However, if you are just a participant of the event but you are not a member of the club, you can meet other investors if they send you a meeting request or approve yours.
If you have registered as a fundraiser your meetings will be scheduled with investors.
If you have a planned and approved meeting that is shown on your meeting schedule before the event, it may not take place due to the following reasons:
- You have joined the event 15 minutes later than the event started;
- You haven’t confirmed your participation in the event;
- Your meeting partner for any reason couldn’t take part in the event;
- You unexpectedly disconnected from the event for a long period of time;
- You have violated the rules of participation in the event.
If your meeting partner didn’t come to the event, your personal club assistant will select and plan a meeting with another participant of the event.
CRL is a symbol of the reputation level of participants in the global investment industry within the Global Investment Leaders Club community. The CRL is solely based on reputation, recommendations and interaction experience between community participants.
The highest CRL level reflects the consolidated subjective opinion of the community members on the impeccability of business and personal qualities of the participants.
Since the CRL is based on the facts of practical interaction between the participants, the absence of a CRL or its low level may mean insufficient or complete lack of practical positive experience of interaction with other members of the community.
CRL is a symbol of the reputation level of participants in the global investment industry within the Global Investment Leaders Club community. The CRL is solely based on reputation, recommendations and interaction experience between community participants. The highest CRL level reflects the consolidated subjective opinion of the community members on the impeccability of business and personal qualities of the participants.
Since the CRL is based on the facts of practical interaction between the participants, the absence of a CRL or its low level may mean insufficient or complete lack of practical positive experience of interaction with other members of the community.
Main factors influencing the CRL are built into the Manifesto of mission and vision of the Global Investment Leaders Club:
- Being open to making contact with other club members;
- Supporting other club members by all available means;
- Actively facilitating the spread of the club’s ideas and encouraging the participation of reputable decision-makers of the global investment industry;
- Encouraging healthy discussion at all times by eliminating direct criticism, including conflict or polemics with other club members;
- Keeping the results of private meetings or discussions confidential.
Regardless of the fact that the CRL is based upon subjective recommendations and opinions of club members, nonetheless the CRL is highly relevant from the standpoint of criteria set out in the mission of the club. CRL cannot change as a result of one man’s opinion, as it is an average one based on all activity in the club with all club members. It cannot be bought or changed per request.
However, not in all investment communities there are such high requirements to the mutual support of participants. This is why for each club member to grow their CRL in a fast and effective manner, we have designed several simple recommendations that will help you to be very well taken and highly valued within the international investors’ community:
- Take part in as many club events as you can;
- Don’t cancel your participation at the last moment’ in the meetings, presentations and group discussions;
- Participate in community activities;
- Recommend investors with good reputation to the club;
- Accept invitations and conduct one-to-one meetings not only with those who are of high interest to you, but also those who are interested in meeting with you. Maintain a balance of such meetings in 50%/50% proportion;
- Support other members of the community (with advice, network and etc.);
- Be responsive to the follow-up after the meetings in a timely manner;
- Bear joint expenses with other members and maintain the community infrastructure. For this, special Platinum and VIP membership cards were designed, yearly purchase of which is a source covering the expenses for the support of the club’s infrastructure.
Following these simple recommendations will definitely be appreciated by other community members and your CRL will be high.
However, the most important thing is to be a good man or a good woman and support other members of the community.
If you are interested in the possibility of establishing contact with any member of the community, nonetheless you are not sure that you are ready for a one-to-one meeting, you can express your interest by pressing the button ‘Interested’ on the profile of another community member.
A community member, on whose profile you have pressed the button ‘Interested’ will see your interest in their ‘Incoming Requests’ section. They will be able to study your profile and your investment projects if you have any.
‘Interested’ button is not obliging parts to open a dialogue but demonstrates an interest and is a wonderful preparation for the future dialogue.
The interest of other community members to establish contact with you or to your project can be seen in the section ‘My Requests’.
Sent or received ‘interest’ is not a meeting request or an invitation to establish a contact. Regardless of whether the interests were sent, if you’d like to organize a meeting with another community member, you have to send them a meeting request.
By default, visitors of the gilc.club portal don’t see nor the picture, neither the name of profile or project owner.
By default, open information about the profile of the community member is the logo of their company, description and job title.
Registered and Authorised users of the portal can see pictures and names of other participants in case if:
- Visitors of the portal participated in the same event;
- Visitors to the portal have conducted a one-to-one meeting with another community member within the framework of club events.
Testimonials and recommendations.
Participants of club gatherings, club members, investment project owners and investors regularly express their opinion about the Global Investment Leaders Club.
All testimonials and recommendations are being published on the gilc.club portal in the ‘Media’ section, subsection ‘Testimonials’.
- The club does not provide any contact information of participants or those who made a presentation at the club for you can contact them and find out their opinion.
- Contacting those who received funding after a presentation at the club events in order to receive their feedback is irrelevant, tactless and violates confidentiality. More than a thousand active investors are part of the club’s investors community. In addition, it is very rare for the same investor to invest in all projects. Therefore, such information cannot be neither relevant nor accurate to estimate the fundraising efficiency.
- An important recommendation is that in order to increase your chances of receiving funding for your project from investors, you need to study not the profiles and reviews of other fundraisers, who received funds, but the profiles, portfolios, strategies and lists of investors who will take part in the event you plan on attending.
- Over 70% of good projects presented in the club have found needed investments within a year after the first presentation.
- Considering that any project presented in the club is GUARANTEED to be heard by investors and the project owner will be able to hold one-on-one meetings with interested investors, the most effective way is to study investors’ profiles and prepare for meetings with decision makers of investment companies.
To maximise the efficiency of getting the funding after your presentation, simple recommendations were designed:
- Attentively study the profiles of all investors who are confirmed to take part in the event in advance;
- Send out participation requests and conduct your pitch at the most relevant event for your project: you can choose by sector or the quorum of investors;
- Thoroughly follow the recommendations while preparing your presentation file;
- Don’t try to get in touch with investors ahead of time of the planned event. It is tactless and you are risking to spoil your business reputation and get ‘black-listed’.
