“Barton and I have been working together on brand, marketing, and overall business strategy.  From our very first conversation, Barton began adding value, first listening to make sure he understood our mission and vision, and then feeding back perspectives that opened our eyes to new and complementary business models that could help us reduce risk and thereby succeed. As an early-stage company, we appreciate Barton's readiness to serve in short time frames and his adaptability to changing situations. He carries immense experience and expertise in consumer strategy, and he translates it thoughtfully into our specific business circumstances. We're glad to have him as a company adviser.”
