Non-Executive Director

It is not rare for founders to be uncomfortable with their own board. This typically comes down to a variety of reasons: they did not get to choose most of the people sitting on it; they don't feel supported or understood by their board, or else there is a skills mismatch between the expertise available on the board and the one which senior management actually needs at a certain point in time. Great board advice comes from hands-on start-up experience, and hands-on start-up experience comes from getting your hands dirty, alongside the founders, which is what great consultants do.

Growing a startup is a real challenge and one of the key tips I always give to new entrepreneurs is to be surrounded with great experienced professionals. Caroline is one of these very talented professionals that have been by my side for the past months giving me advice on how to prepare our fundraising strategy, from preparing our business plan, up to meeting with investors and getting everything in place for the final negotiations. She's always coming with constructive feedback. She's able to pinpoint areas of improvements and provide actionable and pragmatic steps to improve. I'm very grateful for her support and strongly recommend her !
