That's a great perspective and a great question to ask yourself: "do I want to have a board seat, with everything that comes with that".

If you don't know what a board seat entails, well then you know what research you have to do.

Most people don't understand boards and boards vary by company and over time. Brad Feld, author of the excellent Venture Deals, has another book Startup Boards: Getting the Most Out of Your Board of Directors.
