A: A good board is made up of individuals who will help make your company more effective.

“Fill your board with people smarter than you, who have experience building a successful business,” Citron says. While the board should be comprised of individuals who challenge you and push your business, everyone should have the same end-goal in mind.

“Your board should not be your enemy. They should be your partners. And if they really aren’t, then they shouldn’t be on your board,” states Citron.

From the VC side, Wong believes it’s important for the board to understand whether the team can face up to the issues of the business in addition to the always-fun-to-talk-about good news.
