As a founder, I was looking for support working through a huge pivot and a personal growth period. David was amazing to work with. He was able to quickly understand my customers, market, and the opportunity. He knew how to use my strengths to coach me to double down on what I’m already good at — it never felt “out of the box”. At each step, he also helped me look back and see how much I accomplished in a short time.
