Advisory Board or Real Board? Know the Difference!

I think as early as the pre-seed stage, it's really important to take a step back and think about what you want your board structure to look like long-term, because these are permanent, relatively permanent decisions. And even if you are raising a small round, think about who you're bringing on and what capacity you want them to serve in.

It's so helpful. And if you separate the two from a governing board to an advisory board, advisory boards typically play a very practical role. In the sense that they have a specific skill, ideally now, like looking at an angel advisor, which I know you talk about a lot, it means that someone has some skin in the game, they're literally investing time and money to help you grow. It's really important.
