About Ken McArthur

Ken McArthur is the founder of ConnectLab.live, an AI relationship-intelligence and warm-intro platform that helps founders who are raising find the funds that fit and the people who can introduce them, and helps fund managers connect with the founders they back. He was recently accepted into Harvard Business School Foundry. He also writes Raise Smarter, a daily newsletter on what's really moving in early-stage fundraising. Ken challenges us to realize we ALL have an impact, whether we want to or not, on thousands of people we touch in our day-to-day lives, and he shows that simple things make a HUGE difference. ConnectLab.live grew out of that belief. Connection is the currency of the 21st Century, and the right introduction can change a company's future. Long before ConnectLab, Ken was the popular host of live events that brought together top-level marketers, entrepreneurs, business owners, corporations and non-profit organizations to build multi-million dollar joint venture relationships. He has managed product launches ranked in the top 400 sites on the Internet and is regularly asked to speak at leading marketing events. He created AffiliateShowcase.com, a pioneering affiliate program search engine and directory. He also founded the MBS Internet Research Center, which conducted the world's largest survey ever attempted on creating and launching successful information products. Ken was the official mentor for Sterling Valentine as he took his launch from zero to over $100,000 in less than 8 days, a proof of concept documented in Info Product Blueprint. Today he puts that same skill for connecting people and launching ideas to work for founders and the investors who back them.

It’s AWFUL news, “but, surprisingly upbeat!”

In Kate Hudson’s movie, “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,” Samantha Quan throws out ideas for articles in the magazine, “Composure” that include subjects like Botox disasters, but always ends her suggested topic with the assurance that the article will be “surprisingly upbeat!” That’s the way I feel […]

How I Choose Speakers for My Events

I’ve been selecting speakers for my events for over a decade and to be honest, it would be WONDERFUL to abdicate this important role. Why?  Because I often upset people — with my choices. After all, YOU probably wouldn’t pick the ALL of the speakers I’ve chosen and if you […]

You Have A Choice

The List … I put together a long list of ways I’ve developed to help people create the impact that they want to have. You can see the list at:  https://kenmcarthur.com/help It’s a rather daunting list of options and sometimes when we are presented with a list of options we get even […]

A Friend Asked Me To Warn You … 2

Hey Folks, Two of my close friends had an argument and it’s sad.  They don’t agree on some things and those things are important to them.  That means that things probably won’t be the same between them. This happens all the time, but today … You are going to be […]

The Core Elements of Building a Seven Figure Business

The best way that I know to have impact is to focus on key actions that directly impact the core elements of a process. There’s no word in the English language for what I want to express so I’ve made one up. Let’s call that impact the “coreaction factor” and […]

Lasting Art

The creation of art is hard, but I’m one hundred percent sure I can accomplish it from time to time.   I’ve completely re-booted my career countless times creating art in various forms.   As a child I started singing. (because that’s what you did in my family.) At 16, […]

“Things I Never Told My Children” 3

I’m sure I demonstrated my “real” values to my kids as they were growing up — good and bad. That’s easy.  We live, they watch and the truth comes out. What I didn’t do was actually tell them what I thought and believed to be true. The truth was, I […]
