Founders often need experienced judgment before they need another owner. An advisory board can provide perspective, introductions, and challenge without changing the cap table, but only when expectations are clear. This book explains how to define the board's purpose, select complementary advisors, structure meetings, set boundaries, and compensate fairly. It covers confidentiality, conflicts, decision rights, information sharing, and renewal. Readers learn how to turn informal advice into a useful operating rhythm while preserving founder authority and avoiding ceremonial relationships.
