We are big fans of tailoring advisory to meet a startup's specific needs. Here's an excellent article from @JrRawnsley on how to choose a great advisor.

[Sifted @Siftedeu]

Yes, your startup needs an advisor. ✅

Particularly in the early days when the team is still small, bringing on other eyes, ears and brains is essential. But what should you be looking for?

Here’s the ultimate guide you need to read. https://t.co/nJDUG9N0Z1

There's been a lot of "buzz" around UC researchers reaping some big rewards in the recent Endeavour Fund round. Exciting to see where these projects lead in terms of translational science.

Ballsy @mishguru pulled off the biggest, boldest pivot during any Lightning Lab incubator, then they secured angel investment and moved to New York to build a global business. What's the @UCNZ connection? https://t.co/SZK7NjCvj6
