I'm not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand, every startup needs an experienced mentor. In the past, my business attorney (M&A guy in Chicago) helped me with all of my entrepreneurial endeavors. On the other hand, startups need cash and the founder should really be enabled to execute their vision. Someone full-time that can exert pressure may dilute the original vision for their own ideas. As a founder, I really want to be in charge of strategy, any pivots, and all major decisions. I wouldn't turn this down out of hand, but I'm pretty sure I'd value funding more.
