Awesome, thanks so much for the input. How much time does it take you to do those weekly updates and face-to-face meets?

It takes me anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour for my weekly e-mails and our monthly meetings last about two and a half hours on average.
Do you meet with all mentors/advisers at the same time/place?
Every month, yes. I also meet with each individually when required/as time permits.
Do you know if these advisors advise multiple other startups or entrepreneurs? When you meet with them individually, is it usually something fresh from each of them or do they repeat the the same things over?
All of them advise other startups and have their own companies/practices to run.

As mentioned earlier, I update them at the same time every week so they're up to date on what's happening. In fact, if they didn't make the effort to be up to date I would cut them from my Board of Advisors. I'm not sure anything really valuable can be distilled if they don't know what's happening and keep asking the same questions.
