See how professionals have found success on AdvisoryCloud...
I really, really enjoyed our first board meeting. I got a chance to hear directly from company management about what they want and what they need. And this is a really, really great opportunity for me to help them and share my deep experience with an exciting company.
Zoltan Pasztory
Advisory Board Member
The first advisory board meeting I attended was fantastic. The business owner was very engaged and so was the rest of the board. The format was effective and the fact that it was moderated made for a very efficient use of everyone’s time.
Tom Shircliff
Advisory Board Member
One of the reasons why we joined AdvisoryCloud was to get people with different experiences from all different walks of life who can provide us with different ideas on how to solve the problems we’re facing. AdvisoryCloud was the only solution that gave us access to high quality, talented folks from around the globe who reflected the communities we serve.
Linton Johnson
Founder & CEO at Ovis News
AdvisoryCloud has been terrific. It is a highly tailored and incredibly easy way to connect with organizations and individuals looking for someone with my qualifications and experience. I have used many other professional networking services/sites with varying degrees of satisfaction and AdvisoryCloud handily beats all of them. Thanks for a great and effective tool.

I applaud AdvisoryCloud’s effort to disrupt an industry that’s been dependent on "word-of-mouth" and "who-you-know".
Mary McDougall
Fmr. Vice President, Astia
I found my experience with AdvisoryCloud to be the most efficient way to connect executives, like myself, with great companies looking for advisors and board members. I couldn’t be happier with the companies and individuals that I have had the opportunity to work with.

How do you guarantee you can get me on advisory boards?
When we started AdvisoryCloud 12 years ago we heard over and over from our clients that the number one thing they wanted was to be able to join advisory boards.
So we went about developing a way where we could guarantee board placements for our clients. We did this by spending millions to build a technology platform that makes it easy for companies to build and manage their advisory board.
We now have over 200 companies that exclusively build and manage their advisory board on AdvisoryCloud - a number that is growing every month due to partnerships with accelerators like Founder’s Live and many more in the works for businesses of all types and sizes.
These relationships enable us to guarantee placement on up to two advisory boards when you join AdvisoryCloud. Think of it as your springboard for getting started with boards and advisory work. While these boards are not paid, they enable you to add board work to your resume, get experience attending board meetings (via video conference), and also establish your advisor rate that other people can in fact pay you for.
Still to this day you often need 20+ years of experience and to know the right recruiter to get on an advisory board - let alone a public company board which is even harder and has massive time commitments. We’ve changed that, and it’s only one way we help our clients land new types of professional opportunities.
What's next for you professionally? Book your onboarding call and let our team match you with advisory boards and opportunities that are a perfect match for you. -
What types of boards can I join and how does it work?
We have advisory boards in every major industry, as well as emerging areas such A.I., cryptocurrency and many others.
We have startups, small businesses, non-profits, family-run companies and private companies.
We do not have public company boards due to the massive time commitment and other regulations that surround those.
There are 84 million businesses in the United States alone, and 99.9% of them don’t have an advisory board.
Our platform makes it easy for them to set up and manage their advisory board. And our advisory board team is dedicated to getting more and more of them on our platform.
When you join an advisory board on AdvisoryCloud you can also leave it at any time and join another. We have new boards coming on every month and you’ll learn about them in your monthly email from AdvisoryCloud.
We’ve revolutionized the boardroom to guarantee placement on boards for our clients AND to give businesses a far easier and better way to have an advisory board.

How can I use advisory work to make more income?
In your onboarding call you’ll establish your advisor rate. This is an amount you would charge for a specific project. It will be listed on your profile on AdvisoryCloud.com and with one click someone can inquire or engage you for this service.
For example, if you are a marketing professional with extensive experience in running LinkedIn ad campaigns for software companies, your advisor rate could be anywhere from $2,000-$5,000 to do a full audit of their current campaigns and provide personalized recommendations for how to improve their metrics (ideally in a way that far exceeds your advisor rate).
We’ve found this one-time fee is the most time efficient way for all parties to get what they want. You can have multiple advisor rates for a variety of services.
Every month you’ll also get recommendations on how to promote yourself and your advisor rate by sharing thought leadership, using our exclusive tools for our clients (such as our embed widget on LinkedIn), and other ways that over time can help you make income from advisory work.

How does AdvisoryCloud help me grow my professional brand?
We provide a variety of ways to help our clients grow their professional brand.
While being on boards is certainly a way to get your name out there, often overlooked are the ways to capitalize on social networks, peer networking groups, and SEO related to your areas of expertise.
Every month we’ll provide recommendations on new ways you can grow your professional brand. You can use the ones that resonate with you, or we have a variety of one-off services that our team can personally do for you once you’re a client (content creation, posting on social media and others).

How can being on AdvisoryCloud help me increase my earnings potential?
There are a number of ways that AdvisoryCloud can help increase your earnings potential over time.

What can an AdvisoryCloud profile do for me that I couldn’t do on LinkedIn?
In your onboarding call you’ll establish your profile on AdvisoryCloud (which will have it’s own unique url, just like a profile on LinkedIn).
Your AdvisoryCloud profile will feature your background, your advisor rate, and other types of professional opportunities you’re interested in. People can connect with you only for the types of opportunities you’re interested in, and to hire you directly for your advisor rate.
On your profile on LinkedIn, there are advertisements and LinkedIn is in control of what is shown. Plus, the level of spam and junior-level inquiries is making it less and less attractive as a resource for senior professionals.
AdvisoryCloud will also provide personalized guidance and recommendations for how to drive traffic to your profile and use it to achieve your professional goals. Plus, there’s always a person to talk to or ask questions if you need help - something LinkedIn can’t provide for their billion members.

What can AdvisoryCloud do for me instead of a recruiter like Korn Ferry?
Korn Ferry and other elite recruiters are hired by companies to find one specific individual for a job or board seat.
We hear repeatedly from our clients that they don’t want to wait for their phone to ring on the off chance one of these opportunities “might” come their way.
Our clients want to take a proactive approach to new professional opportunities and their future earning’s potential.
What’s going on in the world right now means that offense is your best move and exposing yourself to new opportunities - not waiting to see how things are going to play out.
When you sign on with AdvisoryCloud, we work for YOU. We are your advocate.
And we are constantly developing new ways or partnering to provide value directly to our clients in ways they couldn’t do on their own or that saves them a lot of time.

How many professionals have you worked with and have they had success?
Over the last 12 years we have worked with over 25,000 professionals.
We have hundreds and hundreds of testimonials from our clients sharing their success.
However, we always point out that it takes work on our client’s end as well. Even with all the best recommendations in the world, we can’t magically make people hire you as an advisor or for a new job. The magic happens when it’s a combination of how we tee up our clients and then they close the deal.
We love working with our clients as they represent the future of the business world - the doers who want to expose themselves to new professional opportunities and see where it takes them.
