In Episode 10 of the Apollo League Podcast, Simon talks to Vince Scully from Life Sherpa. Life Sherpa is a multi-million dollar revenue, fast-growing fintech that provides online personal financial advice to people, regardless of their financial position. 

Many people don’t start planning for their financial future until late in their lives, and that is not a good thing. Life Sherpa solves that problem by providing access to licenced qualified financial advisers, online courses and a range of handy resources and tools.

Vince’s business is flying, with revenue doubling every year since formation, and he’s about to hit a million dollars a month in revenue.

In today’s podcast, Vince discusses how he used Apollo League to locate and appoint some experienced company directors as part of the company’s long term plans to list or exit. He talks about the speed of the process, size and quality of the funnel and attractiveness of our back-ended fee structure.

The process was successful, with two board appointments being made.

Candidates appointed through the process included:

• The ex-Head of Wholesale Payments and Commercial Banking for JP Morgan Luxemburg
• One of Australasia’s best risk and compliance executives and academics

Other key highlights:

• Over 80 candidates were attracted to the process within 2 weeks
• 70  candidates were longlisted 
• Two roles were advertised
• Two people were appointed – a 100% success rate
