Testimonials
The fastest way to get expert advice, according to our members.
She didn't waste a single minute on generic "textbook" advice. Everything she shared came straight from real experience — practical, honest, and immediately usable. Exactly the kind of conversation every founder hopes for.

The interactions with James have been some of the most valuable I've had as an entrepreneur — both during the fundraise and during strategic sessions around growth. Maybe saved us $50–100k in burn. Would give 10 stars if I could.

Alexis was thoughtful, insightful, and extremely knowledgeable. He asked sharp questions, quickly understood our business, and shared clear, experience-backed perspective. A great example of the value Intro delivers.

Marcus gets to the roots of your issues fast. With his wealth of experience and active participation in a16z Speedrun he really helps give perspective on a lot of things that you'll need to know. Also you truly feel his desire to help entrepreneurs.

Nancy is fantastic. I got tips from her that saved us $5000 a month on bookkeeping and finance costs. She's so supportive of female founders and it's great to hear her tell it like it is.

The 20 mins I spent with David were more valuable than any other fundraising or pitching advice I've gotten over the last 5 years. His coaching is specific and on point. It was like talking to an all-star coach. So grateful for his time.

Justin saved me $3000 in 15 min. He followed up with the tools to support my success. This was a great use of time and money.
Lilah

Seriously, one of the best calls I've had with anyone in the startup community. She was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and encouraging. She answered key questions on strategy and PMF that I'd been spinning on for a while. I'll be back for sure.

Travis is one of those guys you want on your team as soon as you hear him give his first idea. He had insane strategy ideas for our company and he gave me new ways to take advantage of momentum and turn it into a lasting brand
