There's not a formal line you cross where you say, "OK, now I need advisors". Talk to experienced people, get advice, and make the people that give you good advice your informal advisors. It's easier if you let it be a natural process, rather than a forced "advisor recruitment drive". It's never too early or too late for good advisors. A Board is a different matter entirely, and something that someone more qualified can comment on.
