Advisor Inquiry

Connections between Founders and Advisors are facilitated through the completion of an Advisor Inquiry, allowing for the capture of basic inquiry information and its distribution into our Advisor Inquiry Stream for matching purposes. Based on fit/availability of relevant Advisors, introductions will be made 1:1 in support of joint participation in a structured Advisory Session (default: 30-min VC per match).
