Define the advisory and board compensation framework
Defines a compensation benchmark framework for advisory and board seats by stage, sector, and time commitment, giving the scholar a reference point before any approach is evaluated.
In / outScholar profile + sector focus + target company stages → compensation benchmark framework by engagement type with cash, equity, and expense norms
You might say…
“Every advisory seat offer feels like I'm negotiating blind because I have no idea what fair compensation actually looks like for my profile.”
What it does
Given the speaker's seniority and strategic goals plus market norms, define the internal compensation policy — minimum equity for start-up advisory seats, cash retainer expectations for board roles, acceptable vesting/cliff terms, and the rule for when to decline uncompensated requests versus take them for strategic value. Used to build the standing benchmark consulted when approaches arrive.
Trigger: Use once, before receiving any advisory approach, to build the personal compensation framework that will anchor all future seat evaluations.
