Testimonials
Straight from the founders
Dan has been an awesome technical advisor for us. He is easy to work with, always candid, and his advice has been instrumental in helping us grow. He's played a key role in defining our hiring process, running interviews, shaping how we work as we scaled, and providing guidance on our AI strategy and ongoing team management.
With his help, we've tripled our product team size, integrating new developers, QA and design, with minimal disruption. He's also been a great sounding board as we make those difficult early decisions on our technical architecture.
