For advisers
A small number of companies, properly served
Core Advisers are operators. Each is nominated by an existing member, referenced directly, and tested in a live mock founder session before any decision is taken. Admission is unanimous or it does not happen.
What we ask
- —One or two capability areas you can genuinely cover, with evidence.
- —Doors you can open, named honestly.
- —A response inside three business days, even if it is a no.
- —Willingness to act as Manager for at least one company.
- —Full conflict disclosure and written employer clearance where it applies.
What you get
- —A peer group of operators you would call before a hard decision.
- —Participation points in the collective, aligned to contribution.
- —Non-voting membership of the SPV that holds the warrants.
- —Work that is scoped, measured in ninety-day cycles, and finished.
- —No cash from any company, and no payment for steering anyone anywhere.
Eligibility
Graduation from the Stanford Executive Program, a nomination from a Core Adviser, demonstrable operating or investing experience with early and growth-stage technology companies, and the capacity to serve at least one company properly. Advisers admitted serve a probationary engagement before full standing is confirmed.
