Founder & Startup

Advisory Board Setup

Set up a small advisory board: who to recruit for which gap, the ask and the compensation norm, and the meeting rhythm that earns its cost.

Set up my advisory board. My gaps: {{gaps}} (where I'm weak or blind — industry, function, network, scars). Design: the seat map (2-4 advisors, each covering ONE named gap — not four generalists; the profile per seat), the recruitment ask (specific and bounded: quarterly meeting + reachable between — advisors say yes to clarity), compensation norms (advisor equity ranges with vesting, or per-meeting honorarium — matched to my stage; the agreement basics), the operating rhythm (the quarterly agenda: my numbers honestly, ONE decision I want pressure-tested, their networks activated with a specific ask each), and the refresh rule: advisory seats are seasons, not tenure — the annual re-up conversation. Include the first outreach message per seat.

Fields like {{ this }} are placeholders — replace them with your own details, or let Aria ask you for them.
