Building An Advisory Board That Actually Helps

Building An Advisory Board That Actually Helps

Most advisory boards look good on a slide and do very little in practice. This session, led by QMG's Risk & Advisory Lead, breaks down how to build a board that actually changes the decisions you make — from who to bring on, to how often to meet, to the questions that keep advisors engaged instead of decorative.

You'll leave with a practical framework you can apply within a month, not a theoretical model.

What You'll Learn

• How to identify the 3–5 advisors who will genuinely move the needle
• A cadence and meeting structure that keeps advisors prepared and engaged
• How to compensate advisors fairly without over-diluting
• The most common advisory board mistakes founders make — and how to avoid them

Who Should Attend

Founders and CEOs who are building or rethinking their advisory board, or considering one for the first time.
