Ask HN: Why there is no advisor on demand service?

5 pointsby bbdover 6 years ago
Startups might need a different advisory board at the different stages. The current way to find, engage with advisors are very manual and sometimes the outcome is not good, especially when companies change direction etc. What if there is a board of director/advisor service startup can access tailored to their specific need and when they need it. Why no such service exists?

Because demand far outweighs supply. Good advisors don’t have the time.

Don&#x27;t consulting agencies provide these types of services?
