They’re prob a junior startup and don’t know the protocol. (Warm intro, then a dating like phase, then you smoothly ask to be on an advisory board for time in exchange of equity...)
Got the same.
There’s also scammy companies that will try to get you to pay them to find you paid advisory board seats.
Had a similar call from a business publication.. they want your expert POV but want you to pay for the privilege of exposure. Aaah no thanks.
There are all kinds of weird arrangements and "innovative models" now (especially in digital, no offense) -- but whatever this turns out to be, just make sure they are PAYING and arent just snowing you to do a bunch of work on spec or with the promise of paying work down the line, or god forbid, the old "options in the company" thing.
Theyre asking you for yor time and expertise. If they "cant pay you right now in actual money," then theyre bullshit.
SCAM. If a company actually wanted you on their advisory board you’d already know them and they’d already know you. There’d be no “unnamed client”
