Advisor directory interest
QSBS.ai directory listings are static MVP content for now.
The advisor directory is being scaffolded as informational content first. QSBS.ai is not operating lead routing, contact forms, paid listings, an advisor dashboard, or a live application workflow in this sprint.
Current state
Static scaffold only
Profiles are static MVP seed listings used to define data fields, page layout, and trust boundaries.
No marketplace features
No routing or payments
There is no lead delivery, email submission, paid placement, payment flow, CRM, dashboard, auth system, or database behind this page.
Trust boundary
Independent diligence
Users must independently review professional fit, credentials, licensing, jurisdiction, fees, conflicts, and engagement scope.
Future listing data
Fields future advisor listings should disclose.
The MVP directory data model is intentionally static and conservative. Future listings should make professional scope and diligence questions visible before any founder chooses to contact a professional directly.
- Professional type and service model
- Credentials users should independently review
- Jurisdiction and licensing boundaries
- Fee model and engagement scope notes
- QSBS-related focus areas
- Questions founders should ask before engagement
