Ross (Founder) - ✩✩✩✩✩ (5/5)
The advisor effectively addressed my concerns after hearing, and asking further questions about the current challenges we’re experiencing. Initially, I was hesitant regarding one of the business strategy recommendations provided by the advisors. However, after the advisor provided their insight on a previous, similar case they’ve seen and after clearly outlining the risks / rewards of the recommendation, I found the recommendation to be an appropriate action for the startup to take.
Stefan (Founder) - ✩✩✩✩✩ (5/5)
It was particularly helpful to hear about some of the problems Gastón experienced at Uber and some of the potential different business model pivots I could take.

Gaston's advice on acquiring users based on his UberEats experience was actionable. Can’t wait to explore more opportunities with Sparrow!
