Tom has BY FAR been my absolute mentor to connect with. He is extremely knowledgeable in the exact pain points I am currently experiencing, building a marketing team from the ground up. I have gained an immense amount of knowledge in a short amount of time. His insights have given a plan of action an a lot more confidence in my ability to execute. Thank You, Tom!

We had a great call with Tom. He is very patient, knowledgeable and he offered us great advice. If you are a startup looking to raise their next round, I would highly recommend talking to Tom (specially if you are based in Europe).

Tom is so amazingly helpful! He compressed years of experience in 30mins. That (and his brilliant ideas) helped me get clarity in building my go-to-market approach. He is also super friendly and easy to talk with.
