Hiring & Managing Your Advisory Board August 27, 2009

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.
