Why social ventures need a board of expert advisers ...

Sometimes we are trying so hard to do everything on our own, or with a small team, but it doesn't have to be that way. Great businesses are created by great people. All businesses need the foundation of product and sector knowledge, a way to reach your market, financial intelligence; they also need HR, digital, tech, operations, and legal skills. You can't do it all on your own. It's time to bring in the experts. Why not have world class experts in the team?

This innovative meet up format will include a talk on what an advisory board is, why they are great, and how to get one.
