“Garrett was extremely helpful in helping us to navigate the Startup scene as first-time entrepreneurs. He was instrumental in helping us raise our first round. We certainly owe Garrett for what he has done for us and I would strongly recommend him to any entrepreneur that is looking for a mentor, investor, board member, etc.”
