Startup boards are active and ever evolving. They are quick paced and often hard pressed in their roller-coaster journey to make it big.

There’s clear reason why we need good startup boards; they help the company succeed and to avoid trouble. Often startup valuations are higher and deals are easier to make with good governance. A great board can help the startup avoid disasters and navigate the hardships of growth.

Board work is a misunderstood element in entrepreneurship. It is a great asset, but often seen as an unnecessary burden. That misconception became the starting point of the booklet Agile Startup Board.

The booklet is written is order to create awareness around board work and board practices. It answers the questions why (why the board is needed) and what (what the board should do), but not how (how the board should work).
