How Pre-Seed Founders Build a Board Before Series A

In this episode of The Pre-Seed Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore how idea-stage founders can establish a formal board of directors or advisory board long before a Series A round. They break down the difference between a fiduciary board and a working board, using the example of a two-person B2B SaaS startup that added an independent director within 90 days of incorporation. The hosts cover practical steps: defining board purpose, recruiting a first independent member from a complementary industry, setting meeting cadence, and leveraging the board to build investor confidence. They share a specific framework for a pre-revenue board charter, including term limits, meeting minutes, and decision rights. The episode closes with a reflection on how a well-structured board can reduce perceived risk for angel investors and pre-seed funds. No fluff, just actionable guidance for founders who want to professionalize early. #PreSeed #BoardOfDirectors #StartupGovernance #EarlyStageStartups #FounderAdvice #IndependentDirector #BoardCharter #CorporateGovernance #VentureCapital #AngelInvesting #SaaS #B2B #InvestorConfidence #StartupBoard #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #Entrepreneurship #StartupFunding Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
