Managing Your Startup Board

Often executives are operating their businesses for long periods of time where non-exec board members aren’t familiar with the nuances of the changes in the company and therefore are surprised or unprepared when they come to your board meeting. But in general it’s not the best use of board time because much of that knowledge can be shared before the meeting and the team can come prepared for debate. You can have a 2-hour debate on important topics including pricing, product features, key hires, whatever and then still go away from the board meeting and have your executive team make decisions.
