“David is incredibly valuable as a start-up advisor! He helped our team in three main areas. 1. His experience as an investor helped us craft a clear message for a pitch competition, which we won! 2. He shared his knowledge of the startup landscape, expanding our search for funding sources. 3. He helped our team prioritize the 1,000,000 things to accomplish when launching a startup, which has allowed us to stay focused on the critical actions. We are immensely grateful for David as an advisor!”
