“"Russell has helped me understand my business more than I could have hoped. As a pre-revenue / seed stage business, there's a great deal of uncertainty on many fronts. I tasked Russell with refining a financial model, but what I received in turn was much more than that. He asked thoughtful questions and drew from extensive experience with other SaaS startups, allowing us to evolve the business model and build a more comprehensible 3 year forecast. Russell comes with my highest recommendation." -Seed stage client”

“Great, I got two responses giving me suggestions of programs that would do the job. The first one, Office Lens, seems to almost work but not as automatically as it is supposed to. I have not tried the second yet. However, the Portland Startups Ask and Offer worked great. ”
