Isn't that a little more complicated than finding an advisor? Investor-advisors would be preferable, but not all good advisors are investors (?)

- mwerty 19y agoIt's less complicated in some ways. It's easier to tell if they have invested in you than if they are giving good advice.
- pg 19y agoYou can have informal advisors who aren't investors. But it's usually a bad idea to have a board of advisors, for example, or to give stock to people who want it in return for being an advisor, yet for some reason don't want to actually invest in you. The one exception is when you're a grad student and start a startup based on your research. Then it's common to give your (faculty) advisor some stock.
