You have an idea, some development concepts and a bunch of excited programmers, and you think you might launch an ICO for a new blockchain project. In all this whirl of new ideas and technology, what you really need is an advisor, and if you look at the sites of any reputable ICO launch you will find an advisory team to lend them credit.

Where would one find such a person? Or, preferably, at least five such people? Well, despite the essentially decentralised nature of the industry, the best chance is at face-to-face meetups and devcons, where you can mingle with experts at all levels. Alternatively, you can take part in dedicated forums and social media, and you will certainly have to promote your idea on a source coding host service.

Social media sites vary, of course, and some are more reputable or relevant than others. If you’re looking for expertise, you\'re unlikely to find it on Facebook or Google, and these sites are riddled with hackers and bots. Instead use LinkedIn or a reputable rating service such as ICObench, where professional rating actually counts for something.

The main thing about the blockchain revolution is it\'s about sharing, and most advisors want to be a part of something that’s going to benefit the world, and not some bigwig\'s pocket.
