CoFoundersLab for Advisors

The site says it has 200 expert advisors, but it does not explain how advisors join, how they are vetted or whether they are paid. Profiles are visible to members, and reviewers report unanswered requests. Ask those three questions in writing before you sign up as an advisor. [1] [3] [4]

What the site says about advisors

The homepage claims 200 expert advisors in more than 200 cities. The claim comes with no method and no date, so it tells you the company's own count, not how many advisors are active. [1]

What is not documented

Nothing on the site or in the reviews explains how advisors apply, how they are vetted, or whether they are paid. Premium lists 'qualifying to pitch to angel investors' as a feature, but the page does not say what that qualification involves. [2]

What your profile would be exposed to

Your profile is visible to all members and paying customers. Premium users' limited profile data can be exported for lead or talent work unless they opt out, and the policy does not say where the opt-out is. [3]

Reviewers report fake or inactive profiles, and connection requests that go unanswered, with some contacts who were salespeople. Expect the contacts to be uneven before you give your time. [4] [3]

Should you join as an advisor?

Not yet, unless the company answers three questions in writing. How do advisors join? How are they vetted? Are they paid, and by whom? Until those answers are written down, treat the site as a directory where you would be one more profile. [1]
