Q: How do I become an Advisor?
Q: What kind of time commitments are there for being an Advisor or Board member?
A: This really varies by role and company. As an Advisor, you negotiate your expectations & terms directly with the company leadership to ensure you are on the same page for monthly time commitment and duration.
For Board seats, this also varies greatly. Typical board members for growth stage startups meet monthly or quarterly and tenure is 1-3 years. More established boards may require longer tenure terms. The business may require a commitment of only a few hours monthly or upwards of 5+ hours monthly depending on their stage and needs.
