From the start I knew I needed Stuart’s program. He understands my business and is taking me to the next level. I find it very easy - he knows his stuff and it’s easy to follow his recommendations. I’ve had businesses before and when you’re looking for investment, having a mentor is a shortcut to finding a solution. It’s important to me to work with someone who gets my startup and Stuart does just that - it’s like being at school, Stuart helps you to do the best you can and is helping me to get even more excited about my startup. I would definitely recommend Stuart to founders that are serious about their startups.

I was working on my project for a while and was literally getting nowhere - I didn’t know what to do or how to do it. Then I found Stuart! His experience and working with him 1:1 is like gold to me. He guided me through everything step-by-step and just made it so easy. The resources he provides also are so easy to understand and follow. I would highly recommend Stuart to anyone who needs help getting started and getting funding!

I needed help with my startup in a variety of ways and after my first chat with Stuart I was convinced! I’m getting on very well with the program. Stuart is very flexible - I can reach him as often as I need and he is ready to continue from our last conversation or willing to start on whatever is at the top of my mind. Stuart’s help is very insightful and demonstrates his experience in many areas. Anyone who is trying to develop a project will benefit from Stuart's experience and guidance.

Carlos Silva

In the fast-paced and intricate world of technological start-ups, finding a mentor who possesses both the depth of knowledge and the breadth of experience is no small feat. Adding the element of exceptional human qualities makes this search even more challenging. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have found all these attributes in Stuart. His guidance has been instrumental, meticulously leading me step by step in the journey of establishing and growing my company. Words cannot fully express my gratitude to him. I am hopeful that our collaboration will continue until the completion of my project and beyond. One day, it is my sincere wish to persuade Stuart to join my remarkable team of dedicated professionals on a permanent basis.

Mike Carter

I needed help to get my new venture off the ground. I found a pitch deck online and tweaked it to fit my purposes. Stuart, in the friendliest manner, ripped it to shreds. The conversations with him are very thorough. I started learning from him and am busy revising it with his help. His program is very intense but it can be worked at your own speed. He is always available to help out, answer questions or go over something if you’ve misunderstood. It feels like you are in control and can do things knowing you have someone there who has your back and can explain things so that the information you put together is the best version to attract investors. I’m enjoying the journey.

I'm a non-technical founder and this program encapsulates Stuart’s years of knowledge. I love how it takes you step-by-step covering everything you need.

If I hadn't done this, I wouldn't be where I am today with my startup. I would definitely recommend it!
