Startup Mentorship & Equity

Grow with strategic mentorship in exchange for equity.

At The Advisory Collective, we offer strategic mentorship to ambitious startups at no upfront cost, in exchange for sweat equity — a share in your company in return for our involvement.

This model aligns our interests with yours: we bet on your success. Through our expertise in strategy, leadership, and business development, we help you navigate critical stages of your growth.

Our Expertise

Strategic guidance

We help you structure your vision, refine your business model, and build a growth strategy tailored to your market.

Ecosystem access

How We Work

Our model is built on trust, clarity, and mutual commitment. We select a limited number of high-potential projects to ensure quality support aligned with concrete, measurable outcomes.

  • Strategic selection: We work with ambitious founders ready to share their vision and engage in a demanding growth journey.
  • Clear agreement: A letter of engagement defines the terms of the support and the percentage of equity allocated to our holding company.
  • Active partnership: We work alongside you as committed mentors until key strategic milestones are reached.
