SaS EntreprenurAs someone who is in the trenches growing a multi-million dollar business with his team, David is a master at helping you get through the clutter of decisions and focus on the few things that truly matter (all while making space for the 10x opportunities).. David genuinely cares about your success. And in a high-pressure business environment, having a coach in your corner — someone who pats you on your back and sorts out your messy issues — is the best decision you can make for yourself (meta but true!)

SaS EntreprenurDavid brought a ton of enthusiasm and interest to the phone call - especially appreciated with very early-stage ventures. He prepared for the call by guiding me through a Google doc which assisted me with taking notes and listening to his sterling advice. We even collaborated on specific action items for next steps in our company's progress. I would definitely recommend David for anyone looking for creative methods to analyze and test p/m fit. David's sense of deep caring and interest for my idea remained front-and-center throughout..

SaS EntreprenurDavid was fantastic! He "got" my business and my challenges very quickly and responded with both empathy and excellent suggestions for how to hone in on my critical path to launch by reducing the number of my "do first" items. Highly recommend!
