Newsquare supports startups by directly advising the founder, or advising the board. The roles are as a non-executive director, board advisor, or acting co-founder.

The three roles differ in their emphasis and focus. Non-exec is a legal function, with responsibilities to the investors and other board directors. A board advisor supports the board and founder as a team, and acting co-founder works directly alongside the founder in the role of a co-founder.

A non-exec or board advisor role can be on behalf of the startup or of its investors. Acting co-founder is typically working directly for the co-founder, with responsibility to them rather than to the board or investors. This enables the founder to open up and get help on difficult internal problems in private.
