"Alex advised us during the negotiation of an advisory agreement with a young company. We are new to the start-up funding world and appreciated that Alex explained the issues clearly and helped us develop a strategy that worked for us. His extensive experience in early-stage investing was particularly helpful and reassuring. We found Alex to be very responsive and empathetic to our concerns and would highly recommend him."
