Build Boards of Advisors and Boards of Directors |
Meeting Overview:
Are you an entrepreneur trying to build a startup company? Trying to get a product or service to market? Trying to recruit key players? Trying to raise capital? If you face these hurdles in your early stage company, you may wish there was someone on your side, who's "been there, done that", to offer useful advice. It can get lonely at the top, and a board can offer a key supportive resource. Whether it's just an informal group that you meet with occasionally or a formal board of directors, having and using a board can expand key resources at the most critical times in the life of an early stage company. The panel and moderator include CEOs, experienced board of directors and advisory board members, investors, and an attorney with legal experience in the field who will give practical advice regarding how boards can provide timely assistance and how this can be achieved in your cash-strapped early stage company.
