Hi Ali,

A good read about getting a startup advisor on board. But could you tell me that once the advisor is finalised, what all paperwork is required to legally/officially recruit them?

Thanks for the help.

Regards,
Utkarsh Sinha

Best examples of successful ‘advisors’ I’ve heard of went via: dive into startup, take none (or very little pay), prove yourself invaluable, succeed with the company. At the end of the day, everyone gets compensated fairly – either the advisor is making ‘big co’ money, or they get a good chunk of the equity.

In either case, the pie gets bigger, and both parties are better of.
