With Patrick's help, we were able to complete our Financial Statement and secure our first VC meeting. Really appreciate the insights and highly recommend checking out his presentation on Udacity titled: Agile Financial Modeling.
Super helpful. Incredibly knowledgeable and patient with my lack of finance background. He took the time to look over my documents and discuss how I can improve them. He also sent me a few resources after the call to prepare me for my pitch meetings.
Patrick and his team worked with Datuit's leadership team to help us clarify our message to potential investors and to customers. After working on our technology and getting feedback from healthcare providers and consumers, we needed to refocus our efforts to reach our target audience and hone our message. Patrick helped us get on the right track and gave us access to resources for us to continue on our own. He has continued to be available to answer questions as we work our plan.
Passionate, practical, and invaluable straight-talk that takes the mystery out of fund-raising and provides cutting edge tools that put entrepreneurs a step ahead in the digital world. Patrick is one of those rare mentors who combine a wealth of industry savvy and generosity of spirit to provide agile support, guidance and deftly delivered, no-holds barred feedback. He and the INVESTyR team have cut through the clutter to create an invaluable (multi-platform) resource that I will continue to mine throughout our fund-raising process and beyond. Thank you Patrick!

Patrick's vision and diligence as Program Chair of the CFA Society of Minnesota was the first step putting the organization on a course that has transformed the Society in to one of the strongest in the world. We have gone from having 6 or 7 events per year 5 years ago to over 50 last year and continue to grow. His tireless ability to see things differently and act as a change agent is invaluable.
