Good pieces of advice although I wish the talk were more about me and less about the school they run... But I had benefited from the call. Thanks

Russel is the most enthusiastic Clarity expert I've met thus far. He went above and beyond the call of duty before, during, and after our call to make sure that he understood all possible aspects of my business and how it would be perceived by potential investors and users. In addition to his efforts to understand my team and product, he also provided incredibly useful advice on approaching VCs and Angels on a range of platforms. Any entrepreneur would be lucky to have his time and wisdom.
