Startup Boards by Brad Feld
Workshop Pre-WoRK (~30 minutes)
“Boards don’t have to be pretentious. They don’t have to be stuffy. They really are a part of the development and growth of your business. From this series, you’ll get a real sense of how to configure and create a board in a way that’s really additive to the culture of your business.” — Brad Feld
In this series, Brad, entrepreneur and early-stage investor, provides valuable guidance on how to establish a board of directors who will be there to support you, direct you, and call you out when you fall short.
Homework (~10 minutes)
As you watch this, please take note of the things he mentions that either validate or invalidate your thinking. We will discuss your findings in the workshop. Please come to the workshop prepared to take a deep dive into the topic, along with any other questions you want to bring up.
