TESTIMONIALS

I may not have started DailyWorth.com without David. Launching DailyWorth was contingent upon answering certain questions -- questions pertaining to business model, revenue model and marketing. David had answers based on knowledge developing his own Internet start-ups, and was very generous in sharing what he knows and what he's tried. He's an absolute pleasure to work with.

Amanda Steinberg

Founder, DailyWorth

David was instrumental in the successful execution of the PrivetSoft business plan. He was able to distill our ideas and helped us articulate the central value proposition of our software. David’s previous startup experience was extremely useful in developing our financial projections and avoiding pitfalls we wouldn’t have seen. He coached me on presenting the business plan effectively and his encouragement and guidance have given me great confidence in my delivery. It has been absolutely essential during this initial planning phase to have David advising us.

--Matt Johnson, CEO PrivetSoft

We needed an expert to lead us through the business plan process, and David has everything we could have wished for—experience, smarts, creativity and patience. His method is thorough yet straightforward. He managed to make sure we were asking all the right questions and thinking through the answers, while keeping us focused on the end goal.

David's expertise in constructing tight, compelling pitch oriented business plans is amazing, his coaching on pitch technique is incredibly helpful, and his ability to showcase the best numbers for your business is powerful.  His experience of doing this dozens of times for his own companies and for clients is invaluable for those who are going through this process for the first time.  To top it all off, you could not invite a more trustworthy, integrity-based, been-in-the-trenches, give-it-to-you-straight advisor into your business. David makes an otherwise tedious process enjoyable and exciting!  If you're serious about getting funding, get UpStart in your corner.
