“John is unique for having a deep and broad knowledge of the law as it relates to enterprise but also being incredibly practical about its application. For entrepreneurs and their companies, he’s often their best friend, even when they don’t quite appreciate it at first.”
“I can only say that if I had not had the good fortune to meet Michele I’d likely never gotten my company funded or off the ground. It would still only be a good idea. The most important lesson learned from Michele is that being an entrepreneur is like moving to a new continent and you don’t speak the language. You must not only learn that start-up language of angel and venture investors but you must speak it fluently.”
