advisory board – n: a group of advisors formed by a company to provide sounding-board advice, typically regarding the company’s strategic direction and product plans; some companies form separate, discrete advisory boards to provide science and technology input vs. business advice. A strong advisory board not only provides useful advice to a startup team, but also enhances the young company’s credibility.
