We are excited to bring you OLNS#12 on Advisory Boards in German Start-ups. OLNS#12 is a comprehensive guide on what advisory boards are, how to use them effectively and what to avoid. Contents include - the role of the advisory board in the corporate governance system of a start-up; - duties and liability risks of advisory board members; - practical guidance regarding the appropriate composition; and - best practices for the operation of advisory boards. We also present the results of a major empirical study on the size and composition of advisory boards in German start-ups across the various financing stages. In this one-of-its kind study, we looked at the articles of association of almost 3,000 start-ups and deployed AI-enabled technologies to collect date and discover patterns.
