Nir is very bright and sharp. He was extremely helpful in giving me advise about my startup. He immediately understood the product the product ecosystem and offered some excellent suggestions. I did not know that 30 minutes were enough to gain better insight of the product my startup is working on. He made sure that we are going in the right direction.

Nit is brilliant. He provided great insights into ways we can improve Clarity's "hooks" in the product. I'll be calling him again soon.

Nir has been a great asset and adviser to our company around design, user acquisition and "stickiness" of our platform. Nir understands human behavior very well and what it takes to keep your target audience on your platform and most importantly coming back. His knowledge is great around this area and I would recommend anyone trying to understand these issues for their business to leverage Nir and his services.

I met with Nir regarding challenges we were having getting our product to market. He provided a great deal of insight and many ideas on how we might be able to overcome our challenges. He gave great advice on market sizing, user acquisition and various ways to seed a market place.

What was also particularly notable about Nir was that he didn't come across as a know-it-all, he was very humble in his advice and was also very personable. It was great to chat and share the up and downs of startup life with someone who has been there before and who had survived!

Nir is supportive, honest, patient and definitely knows what he is talking about related to starting up and fundraising. He shared excellent pointers, contacts and genuine concern for the success of my business. I have really appreciated Nir’s help and would whole-heartedly recommend him as an advisor/mentor/advice guy to other startup founders.

Nir Eyal acted was an adviser at the Founder's Institute. Nir Eyal has a great mix of practical knowledge and visionary thinking. In a short time, he was able to discern the fundamental issues concerning my business. He understands the key aspects of business models and gives practical insights on what to expect as you move through different levels of building a business.

I met Nir when he spoke as a mentor to our Founder Institute class. I found him to be very encouraging, thoughtful, and full of great ideas. He's also been kind enough to act as an advisor to my company Savvy Bride, helping us prioritize our tasks as we set for launch. Our biggest problem was spreading ourselves too thin on things that did not bring maximum benefit to our company. Nir was able to distill our needs down to where each person could be as effective as possible. He has a terrific mind for business.
