Tenbin for Outside Directors — Sell Your Board Availability to Startups
Time Commerce platform for outside directors. Sell advisory availability between board meetings while keeping multi-company calendars private.
Board meetings fill a few days per month. The rest of your calendar is prime advisory time for startups and growth-stage companies. Tenbin lets you monetize those gaps without manual scheduling.
Average outside director holds 2–4 board seats but advises 6+ additional companies informally.
Board-level advisory commands ¥20,000–¥50,000 per session — yet most directors give it away for free.
The Pain: Untapped Time Between Board Meetings
- Board meeting gaps are wasted — you think you're only 'available' a few days per month.
- Startups ask "when are you free?" and you spend 30 minutes checking overlapping calendars.
- Company A's board schedule must never be visible to Company B — but you need unified availability.
The Solution: Privacy-Preserving Calendar Merge + Instant Checkout
- Free/Busy aggregation: Tenbin sees when you're busy, not why. Board schedules stay confidential.
- Set premium rates for advisory sessions. Guests prepay — no invoicing for a 60-minute strategy call.
- One Hub page shows your availability and menu. Startups self-book without email chains.
Menu Example

Monthly Revenue Simulation
8 sessions/month × ¥20,000 avg = ¥160,000/month — on top of existing board compensation.
