    "RightVentures was our first advisor and investor. They believed in us when we were still a couple guys in a garage. Their track record, deep connections, and infectious energy gave us the confidence to raise a much bigger round with additional fantastic, well respected investors. Now our growth is a hockey stick with a healthy seed round in the bank all thanks to RightVentures creating that critical inflection point.

    We can't wait to build even more momentum alongside RightVentures, whether it be on a whiteboard, over a longboard, or in a board room."

    "RightVentures have supported and helped accelerate CloudVertical since day 1 - we simply would not be where we are now without their help and advice. At every turn they provided the right introductions, added weight and credibility when we were raising venture capital, and always give sound advice and add expertise. The company, and myself, get so much value from RightVentures, I hope that we can contribute back in the future."

    "The only downside is trying to keep up with their pace! If you get the opportunity to work with the RightVentures team - take it."

    "The RightVentures team are seriously value-add: they're operators themselves so it's not just about intros to other investors and bus devt contacts. They can dive into code, figure out user acquisition and advise based on experience of all aspects of starting up. They are also enormous fun to work with if you can keep up with the pace!

    I would recommend working with RightVentures to any founder."

    "Anyone considering if RightVentures is the right advisor for their team, should also consider if your team is the right startup for RightVentures to advise. If your team are not highly motivated, their input will be wasted on you.

    If RightVentures' contribution to your startup was measured in product advice alone, it would be valuable. When combined with market insight, industry network and an impressive entrepreneurial track record, their contribution becomes invaluable.

    Protip to those who take on Jonathan as an advisor: always be ready to take notes."
