Your investor introduced you to an advisor with a great resume. After three calls, you realized their experience was at a company ten times your size, in a different market, solving a different problem. Impressive title. Zero applicable insight.
Advisory boards accumulate credentials when what you need is relevance. The advisor who transforms your business is not the one with the most impressive LinkedIn headline. It is the one who personally navigated the specific challenge you face right now: who sold into hospital procurement and knows the 18-month cycle, who scaled a marketplace through the cold-start problem, who managed the pricing transition from free to paid without killing growth. That granularity of experience is nearly impossible to source through introductions because the people making introductions optimize for impressiveness, not applicability.
Describe the operating experience that would actually be useful, with the specificity only a founder facing the problem can articulate. CloneICP finds 20-50 people who have done the specific thing you are trying to do. Reach out with context about exactly why their experience matters. That is how you get a 'yes' from an advisor who never responds to generic requests.
Relevant operators over impressive titles. Every time.

How This Is Different
You know the alternatives. Here's what changes.
- Investor introductions depend on their portfolio network, which may not have the right expertise
- Conference connections are serendipitous, not targeted
- LinkedIn search shows titles but cannot filter for specific operating experience
- Most people with impressive titles are not necessarily relevant operators
- Describe the exact operating experience that would be useful right now
- Discover people who have navigated the specific challenge you are facing
- See why each person's career path is relevant, not just impressive
- Build an advisory board strategically instead of opportunistically
