SOLUTION

How did you select TheRoad?

I read an article of Yoel who works at the company. We had a long conversation that helped we to decide that he is the one who can accompany my company and provide me a high level of knowledge

Describe the project in detail.

We went through the pitch deck pages, one by one. We gave attention to any data and detail. Yoel, who helped with that, challenged my assumptions and information I provided. And.. sent me to make homework.. which was very helpful. We also worked on our financial plan. Here, again, Yoel went trough any detail and helped to complete it. We had many discussion which was enriching and led to a successful result.

I worked directly with Yoel.

Due to our joint project, the business is presented more clearly and professionally.

Excellent! Yoel was very accessible. A big plus! Sometimes he responded one minute after receiving my email or message. Also, we completed the project very fast. Very appreciated.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Yoel has a vast experience and established several startups in the past so he can help and contribute a lot to entrepreneurs and startups. Second, it looks like they really want to help.

Yoel is an excellent communicator. We meet face-to-face on a weekly basis but will meet more or less as needed. Sometimes we also communicate through email.
