You don't need to be told about the difficult
fund-raising climate. With investors taking longer to
fund, smart entrepreneurs have to tap into other
resources and tools available for entrepreneurs to
continue to build their startup. Bill Joos, our keynote
speaker for this month feels that a strong advisory
board is one of the most underutilized tools available
for entrepreneurs. In this interactive session,
he'll share the best practices on how to assemble,
manage and your team of advisors. He'll focus on
sharing the power and value of the advisory board and
will discuss:
- How do you identify what types of
advisors would be best?
- What can you expect from an advisory
board?
- What roles do advisor vs a board
member play in an early stage startup?
- How do you compensate an advisor?
- How to manage the expectations and
what to expect from them?
- The engagement of an advisor -
starting with recruitment to reward and
beyond..
and more..
In addition to these prepared
remarks, Bill will address selected
questions/topics that are submitted to him in advance of
this evening. To assist Bill in knowing what other
issues you would like him to discuss specifically on the
topic of advisors and board members, Bill has
asked that you send him YOUR suggestions via email by
Tuesday, August 25. Please email TechCoire at info-at-techcoire.com
