GDNLV.
Opening shortly
Coming soon

A world of adventures between roles.

Mid to senior professionals in investment banking, hedge funds, insurance and technology are sometimes paid to stay away from work for weeks at a time. GDNLV is where they will find the best ways to spend that time.

A note for our partners

You are one of the few we are asking first

GDNLV is a small, carefully edited site, and we are choosing the experiences on it one at a time. This is what it is and what we hope to do together.

01

Who it is for

Mid to senior professionals in investment banking, hedge funds, insurance and technology, between roles, with one to three months of fully paid gardening leave and the means to use it well.

02

What GDNLV does

It introduces them to a short list of the best-reviewed providers, quietly and without hard sell. Each introduction is confirmed with the supplier, so you always know where an enquiry came from.

03

What we would ask

A few good photographs and any media you are happy for us to use, and a named person who can look after enquiries from GDNLV. Terms are in my email.
