Start-up Advisors
On the flip side, as a person who regularly advises early stage start-ups, I often have a hard time finding interesting start-ups. Like Christian Gammil (who I recommend as an advisor) working with entrepreneurs is something I really enjoy.
I've recently begun a round table that I'm hoping will help in a small way, but even there it's going to barely scratch the surface.
Maybe Andrew, Chris and I will figure out a way to address the friction around this. Actually, the friction is even higher trying to find a partner for a start-up. eHarmony for start-up / advisor relationships?

Entrepreneurs face many challenges beyond creating and making the core product.
I was involved in an entrepreneurial "support" organization for 10 years. We found that a team of advisors and service providers was needed to help an entrepreneur succeed.
Later, we offered a series of formal workshops lead by experienced advisors to make sure all areas were covered.
Thanks for the kind words. We should definitely work on reducing friction and I really like Cliffs idea of work shops. I've been kicking that idea around for a bit and have been working on a list of participants, topics, etc. Look forward to discussing more soon.
