How it works
A working board, not a list of names
Matching fills the seats. The boardroom is where they earn them — async by default, organized forever.
Build the table
Describe the table you need. Meet professionals who've sat at it.
Tell us your stage, industry, and the challenges on your plate — we draft your boardroom and your first open seats from your answers.
- Matched advisors, scored — candidates ranked by expertise, industry, and stage overlap — review profiles with full work history before you accept anyone.
- Inbound applications — open seats attract advisors who chose your problem — each application arrives with context, not a cold resume.
- Bring your own advisors free — trusted contacts join your boardroom at no cost, no membership required. Unlimited members.
The boardroom
Your private digital boardroom
The monthly rhythm that makes boards actually work — without herding eight calendars.
- Updates that compound — post a monthly update — metrics, decisions ahead, asks — and your advisors respond in thread, on their schedule.
- Questions & instant polls — turn five senior opinions into one decision by lunch. Polls tally live.
- Documents with memory — decks, P&Ls, and plans shared to the board, permissioned to the board, findable forever.
Meetings
Board meetings that run themselves
When it's time to meet live, the logistics are already handled.
- Scheduling + RSVPs — set the time, attach your video link, and every member is notified — reminders go out 24 hours before.
- Agendas attached — the agenda, the discussion, and the documents live with the meeting, not in someone's inbox.
- Quarterly is plenty — most boards meet quarterly with async updates between — senior people stay engaged because you respect their time.
Beyond advice
From advice to hands-on help
When a decision becomes a project, the best person to run it is already at your table.
- Published rates — advisors list rates for consultations, scoped projects, and fractional roles — no recruiter fees, no discovery dance.
- Free intro calls — every advisor takes free 15-minute intro requests, so exploring fit costs nothing.
- Auditioned, not interviewed — you've watched them think in your boardroom for months — hiring deeper is the lowest-risk hire you'll make.
Five questions about your company · Real advisor matches on the other side
Why a board
Three returns, one monthly habit
Decisions, de-risked
Pricing, hiring, channel bets, expansion timing — pressure-tested by people who made the same call with their own money on the line.
A network you can borrow
Advisors open doors: customers, partners, capital, candidates. One warm intro can pay for years of membership.
Accountability without bureaucracy
A monthly update to people you respect is the most clarifying management ritual there is — no fiduciary weight attached.
Blind spots, covered
Seat one advisor per competence gap. Three engaged advisors beat eight ornamental ones.
Speed in hard moments
When the bank calls or the lead investor wobbles, you want people who've been there — already at your table.
A bench for what's next
Today's advisor is tomorrow's fractional exec, investor intro, or key hire — pre-vetted by months of working together.

FAQ
What founders ask before starting
Who actually needs an advisory board?+
Any company whose leadership keeps hitting questions they haven't personally answered before: scaling paid acquisition, first enterprise deals, pricing, fundraising, expansion, succession. If you're guessing on decisions someone else has made ten times, you need their pattern-matching at your table.
What does it cost?+
$199/month after a 30-day free trial — about the cost of one hour of consulting. That covers unlimited board members, unlimited posts and polls, meetings, documents, and access to the advisor network. Cancel anytime in one click.
Do I pay the advisors too?+
Not through your subscription. Many advisors join boards for the experience, network, and affiliation; every application shows the advisor's expectations, and listings state compensation type up front. If you want deeper engagement — a project, ongoing consulting, a fractional role — advisors list their rates and you arrange it directly.
Can I bring advisors I already trust?+
Yes — and they join your boardroom free, with no membership of their own. Most strong boards mix people you know with professionals from the network who cover your blind spots. Invite by email in two clicks.
How fast can we have a working board?+
Your boardroom and first open seats are drafted from your get-started answers — most companies publish within an hour. Your own invited advisors can be inside the same day; network applications typically start arriving during your trial.
How is this different from hiring consultants?+
Consultants are paid to produce deliverables. Advisors are invested people who watch your business over time and tell you the truth. An advisory board gives you continuity of judgment for less than the cost of one consulting engagement — and when you do need hands-on work, your advisors are the most context-rich people to hire.
What about confidentiality?+
Boardrooms are private and access-controlled at the database level — posts, documents, and meeting details are visible only to that board's members. You can remove a member in one click, and you're free to require your own NDA before sharing sensitive material.
What if we don't find the right advisors?+
Your first 30 days are free, and we email you 3 days before the trial converts. If the board isn't forming the way you want, cancel in one click and pay nothing.
