Source: Clarity Scott Barnett Nov 2, 2018I had an amazing call with Russel. He provided me with very valuable advice and insights on how to approach new marketing ideas. Also, given his extensive expertise in start up experience, I was able to obtain some good hints about how to kick off and grow the chance of social media exposure. He is very generous and helpful. I look forward to continue cooperating with him in the future. Thank you, Russel!
Source: Clarity Julia Huang May 30, 2015Russel 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.
