Bio
Ekaterina Berlova
I have met Janaka through a startup group when I seeked help to evaluate a new startup idea. Janaka offered his help and we had a solid 1-hour session pulling apart the concept I had and then coming up with a new one in the process. It was very direct and insgihtful approach that gave me a lot of things to work through. Would work with Janaka any time again!
Joe Matthews
Janaka has been a valuable and reliable tech advisor to my late-stage start-up. He provided clear advice regarding trouble-shooting and development options. His empathy for start-up founders is certainly appreciated, and quite rare in this industry.
Daniel Tour
I have known Jay for several years since we first met at Hendry. What struck me about Jay was his sharp intellect and his intuitive ability to quickly comprehend a problem, analyse the root cause and prepare an appropriate solution. Jay has a strong drive to succeed in all things he does and is willing to roll up his sleeves and perform any task required to get his team over the line. This is a quality that I admire in him and we have formed an ongoing mentoring relationship that I am proud to be part of. Jay demonstrates technical capacity, business ambition and inspired leadership qualities, and I look forward to enjoying his successful life journey.
