Newly founded companies need many things from funding to experienced talent. It is critically important that the need for experienced talent be addressed early as the ability to raise funds and move the company forward with professional oversight be addressed early. For these reasons, the company needs a Board of Directors, preferably from inception, but, certainly, as early as possible. This session will address the importance of a Board of Directors, the role of the Board, the differences between a Board of Directors and a Board of Advisors, in addition to the recruiting of Board members, Board structure, subcommittees, and Board compensation.
