There isn’t a better investor, advisor, or friend you’d want in your foxhole as an early stage founder. Anthony (AC) backed us early, provided critical insight on growing a CPG brand, and leveraged his extensive network to help us grow our company. He enabled us to 10x our distribution and sales - our first sales hire came through his network and was instrumental in this growth. AC is adept at processing the problems your business is facing, and quickly advising on the best solutions. Equally important, he’s able to provide the type of support that every founder needs - informed industry perspective, impartial evaluation, and the continual support it takes to get to the finish line. The definition of a value-add investor/advisor. Get AC in your corner if you want to go the distance!
