"Phil was instrumental in identifying high-impact targets for our platform technology, and his work ultimately allowed us to establish the interest of and obtain a major funding commitment from our first strategic venture investor.
Phil played several critical roles during early stages of our start up, including honing pitches, developing a 5-year financial model, and identifying targets of broad interest to major investors. Phil's contributions categorically enabled us to land a multi-million-dollar seed investment."
