Daily Prompt Pack: Advisor Management – Build Your Board Without Burning Advisor Relationships

Advisors are the cheapest use in a startup, yet most founders turn them into a monthly rubber stamp on a deck. I have been running an advisor program for three years, and the real work is not collecting names, it is running the relationships so people stay sharp and stay. Here is the playbook I actually use.

I run a 12-person seed-stage team and my 5 advisors give vague advice once a month. Build me an advisor one-on-one agenda template with 4 fixed sections: 30-day metric review, one decision I am stuck on, one ask for their network, and a 2-line follow-up commitment. Include a rule for when I should drop an advisor. Output as a fillable markdown template.

Given my B2B SaaS with 40 paying customers and 3 advisors who rarely meet, produce a 90-day advisor engagement plan. Map each advisor to one specific business problem, set a monthly meeting cadence with prep work, define one concrete deliverable each must produce, and add a quarterly evaluation scorecard. Output as a table with owner, problem, cadence, and deliverable.

Create a local markdown file ‘advisor-dashboard.md’ with a YAML frontmatter block listing advisor name, focus area, equity, next meeting date, and last follow-up status. Then generate a script that reads this file and prints a weekly to-do list: meetings due this week, follow-ups overdue, and advisors not contacted in 30 days. Output the file and the script.
