Advisors

Heartland's Advisor Program

Advisors  

These are individuals whose knowledge, experience and education are appropriate for an advisory board of a seed and/or early stage company.  This advice is generally offered on a voluntary basis.  There is no legal relationship established involving Heartland, the advisor and/or the company.  

Finding an Advisor

Heartland offers its portfolio companies advisors who provide accountability, create a sounding board, and offer a diverse set of views. These Company Advisors help the management and their company to respond to the unexpected challenges and opportunities that all start-ups experience. They also provide a cost-effective method of obtaining increased credibility and new connections both to potential business opportunities and to other valuable resources. We believe that these advisors will help guide our investments across the wilderness that separates a great idea from a great business.

The individuals listed are by industry, function and educational background.  Heartland Angels’ role is primarily to create a list of people who are interested in this activity and are available to Heartland's portfolio companies. The listing does not constitute a recommendation by Heartland Angels
