Bio
Amit Bhanot
As a corporate lawyer turned startup founder, I had to learn the science behind launching a product very quickly. Reza was extremely helpful in making that happen, and in particular, with strategy, hypothesis testing and prioritization. Now, our product is iterating rapidly in a very positive and methodical way. I would highly recommend him as a product advisor/consultant to any startup looking to accelerate their business!
