Lunch and Learn

Founders spend a lot of time focused on product and business development, fundraising and building a team, and probably not enough time on governance. Making governance a priority in the early stages makes the runway to growth a lot smoother.
 

Having a healthy governance structure in place from the start reduces the headaches of compliance, scalability and sustainability. Advisors and boards also bring with them a wealth of experience that allows them to offer guidance. But what kind of governance structure is right for your startup?  

We’ll answer this question and others in this month’s Lunch & Learn.

This one-hour event will cover:  

• The difference between advisors and a board of directors 
• The role of advisors  
• Finding advisors  
• Assigning equity to your advisors  
• The do’s and don’ts of presenting your advisory board in your pitch deck 

Presented by Doug Benel, Manager of New Ventures, SUNY Research Foundation
