Why leaders use Blackgate

Off-market

Many Blackgate opportunities never reach the open market. The most senior rarely do.

Discreet

Confidential by design. Nothing about you is shared without your consent.

Matched, not spammed

An engine scores your genuine fit for each opportunity — no mass mail-outs.

Free to begin

Foundation is free and permanent. Platinum and Principal are by invitation only — earned, not bought.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is it free?

Blackgate Foundation is free, permanently — your Executive Profile, your career baseline, continuous matching and selected mandate alerts. Blackgate Platinum is $1,000 for twelve months, and Blackgate Principal — the seven-figure universe — is $4,000 per annum, entered through a confidential interview. Neither can simply be bought: Blackgate invites you once your assessment meets the threshold.

Is it confidential?

Entirely. Your profile is never shared with a client without your explicit consent. Discretion is the point.

Who is it for?

Senior leaders — Managing Directors, COOs, CTOs, VPs and founding executives across defence, fintech, deep tech and beyond.

How long does it take?

About two minutes. A short chat, your LinkedIn, and a CV upload — then you'll see exactly where you rank.
