Board Directors & Corporate Advisor: Why, Who, When, and How?

A Board of Directors is a statutory requirement and a good set of advisors is a fiduciary requirement but knowing who to select, when to formalize, how to compensate and manage, and the like is far from obvious. In this talk, we will dive into all of these questions to help startups maximize the value of their greatest supporters.
