初创公司如何设立顾问委员会
2014年01月02日 10:07
在初创公司设立顾问委员会，有诸多益处。这些顾问会为公司的成功有所贡献——不仅可以为试验提供意见、强化创新想法，还可以让创业者接触到许多重要资源。
要想建立委员会，创业者可以参考一下电影公司的做法，制片人总是先选择最卖座的演员，这样其他人就会追随而来。同样的道理，你要招揽圈子内著名人士或者行业影响者作为公司顾问，他们会吸引其他人为组织带来可信度。
创业者还要为顾问委员会建立目标和期望，包括开会的频率和地点。通常，每3-6个月举办一次面对面会议就足够了。公司顾问们都很忙，所以不要浪费他们的时间，而应确保每次会议议程都设立了明确的目标，并告知咨询顾问的任期时限（2年或者3年）。
Setting up a startup’s advisory board — a group of advisors committed to your success — provides a sounding board to test and strengthen your ideas and gives you access to important resources.
To build a board, consider the film industry, where producers often begin projects by lining up the most bankable talent possible so that others will follow the star’s lead. In the same way, recruit advisors, like well-known community members or industry influencers, who will attract others to give your board credibility.
Establish goals and expectations for the board up front, including how often it meets and where (usually, in-person meetings once every three to six months will suffice).
Your board members are busy, so don’t waste their time: make sure to set an agenda with specific goals at each meeting, and spell out term limits (say, two or three years) for board membership.
