Context

Max is the founder of NauticAi. I helped him navigate his first fundraise and advised him as he launched his company.

Reference

"Josh has been a fantastic help over the past few years to my startup. I cold called him to talk about WeFunder years ago, and we have been able to stay in contact ever since! He has featured my company in his newsletter to VCs and has given me highly useful and valuable advice in our chats over the years. In addition to that, he has also been a very valuable resource to other founders through his work both with WeFunder as well as Levy. I’d hire him if I could."

Areas where Josh excels as noted by the reference:

"He is an open book. When I ask him a question, I know I am getting an honest, and thorough answer. If what I was doing was dumb, not only did he (kindly) let me know, he provided many possible solutions."

Areas where Josh can improve as noted by the reference:

"He could be quicker to respond, however, I have made it a point to respond very fast to emails and texts, so he is likely quite normal, I am just abnormal."

Additional Notes

"If you can hire Josh, I’d do it. I would in a heart beat, but unfortunately, he is too sought after."
