“Vince has been a tremendous help throughout my startup journey. Knowing I’d face significant challenges in navigating the murky waters of the early startup days, Vince has been able to provide guidance and expert advice to help resolve the entire array of challenges ranging from co-founding partner negotiations, product choice decisions, deciphering marketing/customer messages, and investor communications. More than that, with his great sense of empathy, humility, and wisdom, he has helped me overcome all the inter-related emotional swings in pursuit of my dreams, thus helping me grow professionally and personally as someone trying to make meaningful impactful change in the world.”

“If you’re going to cut it in early stage companies, you need to get used to quickly identifying what skills you don’t have and developing them with haste. Vince didn’t pull punches, he’d tell you what you needed to work on and expect you to get better, fast. He instilled a mindset of continuous learning and never being intimidated by what you don’t know. It was one of the most valuable lessons I learned.”

“Vince has been an extraordinarily helpful mentor and sounding board throughout my journey in entrepreneurship. His feedback and support have been invaluable as I’ve worked over the years to navigate the challenges of starting and building businesses. In particular, his wisdom around how to jumpstart a project, and later re-calibrate against one’s initial hypotheses, has helped me better manage the roller coaster ride of entrepreneurship and improve as a leader. I can’t recommend Vince’s advice and mentorship highly enough!”

“Vince was my career advisor at Columbia, he helped me decide on key career decisions that led me to building my dream business that’s now a very profitable multimillion dollar startup! ”
