Document background
The Startup Advisor Agreement Template is essential for early-stage companies in the United States seeking to formalize relationships with experienced professionals who provide strategic guidance. This document is typically used when bringing on board advisors who contribute expertise in areas such as technology, market strategy, industry connections, or fundraising. The agreement outlines the advisor's role, responsibilities, and compensation (often including equity), while protecting the company's intellectual property and confidential information. It ensures compliance with relevant U.S. securities laws, particularly when equity compensation is involved, and establishes clear boundaries for the advisory relationship.
