As a MedTech startup founder, navigating the entrepreneurial and product development journey has been daunting at times. Michael has been an outstanding advisor, helping me to navigate various challenges around IP, regulations and product development. His input significantly elevated my grant application, and as a result, I was successful in obtaining non-dilutive government funding on my first application. He is highly intelligent, diligent and efficient. Working with him has been an absolute pleasure, and was one of my best decisions as a founder.
