5 out of 5 stars
My expectations were highly surpassed with Mark's mentorship!! Not only is Mark extremely knowledgable in the field of VC/startups - and all of the skillset that entails - Mark is also an OUTSTANDING mentor that takes the time to be receptive to the individual needs, goals, and skillset. He is a fantastic mentor, patient, and a great person! Personally, I really like the way he has mentored me with a very empathic and knowledgable way. He has helped me with very practical skills that I can transfer to my job and is a fantastic mentor with great experience in the VC/startup world that I have been able to leverage and learn from. I could not recommend Mark more - 10/10! Mentorship is a great way to move forward faster, I could not be happier with my choice of working with Mark!
