Advisory Board Survey

Thank you for participating in this study on startup advisory boards.

This survey is part of a Master’s thesis at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), based on insights from over 40 academic and industry sources.

Your answers will help identify what makes advisory boards effective — their key success factors, common pitfalls, and practical setups that actually work.

The survey takes about 7 minutes.

All responses are confidential and will be used only for academic analysis to develop a data-driven framework for high-performing advisory boards. No personal or company names will be shared publicly.

If you choose to disclose your email, you’ll receive a summary of the study results in 2026 — including key insights on:

• What differentiates high-performing advisory boards from the rest;
• Which structures, behaviours, and practices lead to the best startup outcomes.

Your contribution will not only support academic research but also help you benchmark and strengthen your own advisory setup.
