Anyone have any advice on picking advisors or the kind of dynamics to foster with one? For /humankind. Not sure what it looks like with a bootstrapped company.

🕯️They/them. Scaled cos from 0-$300k in arr, 7-35 employees, 0-100k users. Now I make beautiful, functional, and ethically made candles at humankind.place

Yes that makes sense, do you know anything about how the equity arrangement is suppose to happen?

I am pretty sure it’s a lot less and usually on a yearly commitment (?) any data for you to show? Not doubting just want to learn!

Typically advisors receive a very small arrangement let’s say 1-3%, to ensure they stay committed too it could be on a vesting schedule
