I just when through the somewhat laborious process to sign up for this, and the last step is to ask colleagues  to 'vouch' for you. The email your 'vouchers' receive wants them to change their LinkedIn settings to allow them to "Send messages and invitations to connect as you", which seems over-reaching and more the behaviour of a marketing organization than a service to help founders. One of my contacts has already refused to co-operate for this reason.

Something to take into account if you are considering signing up.
