It's the same case in Thailand. Most of these "advisors" have never built a successful company or product. They have worked in companies and done well in "management" or they have started companies that are very good at raising funding but fall short when it comes to building a product or keeping customers and employees happy, and are usually incapable of making profit.

The ones that are good at building something (or at least focused on it) won't be wasting their time trying to "give back" (read: find other opportunities). Zuckerberg did some very minimal "giving back" while building Facebook IIRC (the biggest being an actually useful course he visited at Harvard called CS50, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFFs9UgOAlE)
