In sintesi

Advisory boards are CEO+founder multipliers: tap industry experts for strategic advice, intros, validation without diluting equity. Core practices: recruit advisors (target well-connected 10+ years experience), define scope (strategic guidance, intros, recruiting), cadence (quarterly meetings, annual reviews), compensation (equity ~0.1–0.5%), maximize engagement (clear asks, proven value). Why it matters: advisors reduce execution risk (leverage expertise), accelerate fundraising (credibility, intros), unblock growth (access networks). Effective advisors = 3–6 months of growth acceleration. Learning path: 1 week planning (who to recruit, compensation structure), 1 month recruitment, ongoing management.

Cos'è Advisory Board Management

Advisory boards are a CEO/founder multiplier. Tap 3–7 industry experts (10+ years experience, well-connected) for strategic guidance, introductions, credibility, and recruiting support. Exchange: equity (0.1–0.5% per advisor), equity + small cash retainer, or purely equity. Not to be confused with formal Board of Directors (who have fiduciary duty, voting rights, legal liability). Advisors are lightweight, flexible, focused on support.

❓ Domande frequenti

How many advisors should I recruit?
Typical: 3–7 advisors. Sweet spot: 5. Fewer than 3 = limited expertise/network. More than 10 = management burden outweighs benefit. Quality > quantity.
Who makes good advisors?
10+ years industry experience, well-connected (100+ relevant relationships), founder/CEO experience (understand your challenges), genuine interest (not just for equity). Domain experts: product, GTM, fundraising, target market.
How much equity should advisors get?
0.1–0.5% per advisor, typically. Early stage: 0.25%. Later stage: 0.1%. Vests over 2 years (1-year cliff). $50k–$200k worth depending on stage. Don't overpay; equity should be tie to effort.
What if an advisor is bad (not engaged, bad advice)?
Address early. Have 1-on-1: 'I notice you haven't been involved. What's changed?' If no improvement after 2 quarters, respectfully part ways (revoke unvested equity, or buy back). Advisor mismatches happen.
How often should I meet with advisors?
Quarterly board meetings (full group, 1 hour). 1-on-1s as needed (monthly/quarterly). More frequency early stage (monthly meetings), less later (quarterly sufficient). Cadence = accountability.
What's the difference between advisors and board members?
Advisors: advisory role (guidance, intros, no fiduciary duty), ~0.25% equity, quarterly meetings, informal. Board members: directors (fiduciary duty, voting rights), formal meetings, legal standing, more complex governance. Advisors = lightweight, flexible.
How do I get maximum value from advisors?
Be specific about asks: 'I need intros to 3 VCs in this sector' (not 'help us with fundraising'). Report back (show progress, share outcomes). Celebrate wins ('Thanks for the intro to X, closed deal'). Make them feel like part of team, not external.
