What is Advisory5?
Advisory5 designs the relationships that make Charlotte's health tech ecosystem produce outcomes. The directory maps who's here. Advisory boards create structured, ongoing connections between founders and expert advisors — locally and from across the country. Together, they turn co-location into co-creation.
The Directory
The directory maps Charlotte's health tech ecosystem — startups, funders, vendors, and opportunities. It's the intelligence layer that makes deliberate connections possible.
Advisory Boards
We build structured advisory boards where a small team of advisors works collaboratively with each venture. Founders get direct support, real connections, and doors opened. Advisors get meaningful engagement — with founders and each other. Advisors join from anywhere. For founders, that means the best expertise regardless of geography. For advisors outside Charlotte, it's the fastest way into one of the country's fastest-growing health innovation ecosystems.
Small, Focused Teams
Each venture gets a dedicated team of advisors. Diverse perspectives, distributed commitment, right-sized for real impact.
Ongoing Relationship
Not time-limited cohorts. Advisory boards continue as long as both sides find value.
Collaborative
Advisors work together, building on each other's insights. A real advisory board, not a list of names.
