Investor & Startup Testimonials
Ian sources many unique opportunities often before others view them. This is vital in the private deal space. He then filters deals with expensive due diligence helping me with a lot of the heavy lifting required to get comfortable with a deal. Finally he executes with attention to detail in the dry areas of documentation, a surprise rarity amongst professionals. Additionally he helps the companies with strategic updates and marketing advice. I have recommended Ian to several of my peers and friends which is the ultimate reference checkMCC Investor.
