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.

What Makes Something REAL?

For me, the Impact Factor Movie became real the day I told Larry Steinhouse we were going to start filming the last week of August 2019. Now bear in mind that I didn’t have any money to start filming a movie, I didn’t even have a completely finished script, or […]

I just lost it all …

I spent about 30 minutes on a LONG post talking about how I REALLY wanted to get together with you. Yes, you specifically! Then I ended up tagging a BUNCH of people who I “specifically” wanted to get together with and Facebook decided that I’d talked too long and dumped […]

Nostalgic

I’m feeling nostalgic. It seems to be happening more and more frequently. I suppose nostalgia increases with age because as you get older, you are constantly reminded that time is rapidly slipping away. Sometimes, I think about my family.Sometimes, I think about close friends.Other times, it’s people who I might […]


The Impact Foundation

For the past several months I’ve been trying to figure out what I want to do next. SO MANY OPTIONS! It’s hard to choose from such a wealth of opportunities. What should I do, make more movies, have more events, create a school, speak, teach, write, and explore new technologies? […]


Recognize this scene from “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer?”

“Here was a gorgeous triumph; they were missed; they were mourned; hearts were breaking on their account; tears were being shed; accusing memories of unkindnesses to these poor lost lads were rising up, and unavailing regrets and remorse were being indulged: and best of all, the departed were the talk […]


How much money do you need?

A friend asked for some advice. I thought that it was a good question and thought I’d share my response in case you might be feeling some of his feelings. His comment was in response to a question about money and how much it takes to be rich. ========== Hopefully, […]
