As the manager of a startup in the midst of a fundraising phase, I had the privilege of benefiting from the comprehensive support provided by the consulting team. Their tailored approach proved to be a real asset during this critical stage. Their assistance, particularly valuable during the final and legal phases of the fundraising, was an immense relief for me and my team. Furthermore, the privileged contact we had with them and their availability greatly facilitated our exchanges. I highly recommend their services to any company seeking quality support in its development.
