The company can consider having a mentor on board who does not have a personal tie with the founder unless that mentor has a unique skill set. He has the right to make changes in the roadmap and communicates with the entrepreneur using some easy tools. Having a mentor who is experienced and who has started and built a profitable company from scratch is by far the most cost effective and sensible investment all start up entrepreneurs should be making.
