Should have hired sooner
Jon has assisted me with a handful of angel investments into startups and always has insightful comments on the structures and terms. He embodies the "get it done" attitude and boils down complex issues in a simple manner. I wish I had hired him years ago for my portfolio, he's worth every penny.

Trusted Advisor
Jonathan assisted my company with incorporation and angel fundraising as well as hiring and issuance of options to employees. He's a trusted advisor to whom I turn before making any major decisions. Highly recommend.
