Questions

I've met with some advisors and have proposed the idea of them joining my company advisory board. Compensation will be paid with a small amount of equity. But, questioning what is the right amount to offer? Advisory Objectives: Plan strategy development Assist in recruiting Introductions to investors I've searched online and read some very interesting blogs. such as this one: http://fi.co/contents/206# Im not sure if the 1% is to more or less what i should be offering to the advisor. I have much respect for my advisors and hope to compensate them with the right % for their contributions. *I currently own 100 shares in my company. Im going to change that amount to 10,000 shares. We are a seed stage company but my advisors see great potential in my business and its growth. Happy Holidays Everyone!!

Here is the most useful article I've seen on the subject: http://techcrunch.com/2011/09/22/free-startup-docs-how-much-equity-should-advisors-get/

It's important to consider the stage you're at and the level of involvement of the advisor.

Hope that helps!
