We’ve Helped Founders At Great Organizations:

Founders Love the Clear, Actionable Guidance

Without doubt this is one of the most sophisticated sources for the knowledge a founder needs to build their financial story.

I’d easily trade a majority of my time in any traditional accelerator program only to focus on the contents you provided. Every minute I get to learn from you is a big gain.

H. Heidari, Ph.D

Founder & CEO, C+UP (Cleantech startup)

Great insight into how investors view market size and particularly how they view your approach to presenting a serviceable market size.

I had not received this level of clarity, guidance, and candidness anywhere else and it is critical information to have to be successful. Thank you!

Jacqueline

Climate Tech Founder

 

Emotionally intelligent and actionable. Most times I can leave these kinds of conversations with great theory.

I like being able to take action.

Kimberly Moore

Go Together Inc.

 

Saved me wasted effort. Helped me tie the pitch deck, business model, fundraising goals, future steps together.

I had it all in my head but was not transferring it to be reflected in my pitch deck. You showed me how to do this.

Amna Zeb

InterJad

You explained how experts look at the numbers. I don’t mind loose numbers at this early (seed) stage.

But I care enormously about investor perceptions regarding my estimates.
