Advisory Board
Definition
A group of experienced individuals who provide informal guidance, expertise, and connections to a business, without the legal obligations of a board of directors.
Why it matters
The right advisors accelerate your growth, open doors, and help you avoid expensive mistakes. They are particularly valuable for first-time founders.
Example
A SaaS founder recruits three advisors: a product expert, a CFO, and an industry insider. In exchange for quarterly meetings, she offers 0.25% equity each.
