Ash helped us tackle strategic fundraising issues such as over dilution, raising in the US, Angellist sindicates, etc. Super helpful call and would recommend him to anyone.
Source: Clarity Jose Supico Jan 13, 2016Ash is very knowledgeable and gets right to the point. Thank you.
Source: Clarity Jack Bloom Jul 15, 2015Obviously very well versed in the seed founding process. Valuable insights.
Source: Clarity Joe Serrano May 14, 2015Big time help. Thanks.
Source: Clarity Eddie Godshalk May 3, 2015Ash was clear and concise on his feedback and would definitely recommend his advice to others looking to raise. Thanks Ash and look forward to speaking with you again soon.
Source: Clarity Niall McCarthy Dec 5, 2014Very helpful conversation. Ash provided a lot of very direct, practical advice about fundraising, in contrast to most of the fundraising info out there which tends to be fairly abstract and difficult to apply in reality. Ash's advice was very clear and backed up by a lot of experience. And I came away with a much clearer idea of next steps for my company.
If you are looking for practical, specific advice about fundraising, I highly recommend speaking to Ash.
Couldn't ask for more in 16 minutes and 45 seconds. I'm happy he accepted the call. Highly recommended
