Then we discussed how they could go about finding this startup business advisor. Great question and I believe that just like finding a Technical Advisor for your startup is critical, finding a good mentor is critical. These are not mutually exclusive and good mentors and advisors get into both. For me, I'd use LinkedIn.

I spent nearly a decade building software for large companies and then advising companies on the same. There’s a guy in Los Angeles that I met at several tech networking events. He would have found somebody technical and inspired that individual to work for equity or deferred payment. Making Things Happen.

Most people totally advise against stealth. I worked with an entrepreneur who was to appear at a startup networking event where he was to talk about his company’s plans.

Many of the entrepreneurs I advise or invest with spend considerable time on the Internet, keeping up with technology, customers, and competitors, but very few feel the need for an early personal presence. Invest your time in networking online, as well as offline. Every future entrepreneur should start by networking.

Upon entering most every conference, attendees are normally offered a name-tag or some other such identifier to indicate that they have paid for admission. The purpose of this area is more to reiterate the warning most people ignore when connecting to public networks. No, your information is not secure!

In a world where 90% of communications is non-verbal imagine what is lost on conference calls. I often advise these CEOs to make the tough choices early in the company’s history – either move up North or build your tech team in LA. If they can’t, I doubt it will become a big, important technical company.
