François did an excellent job on the mission we entrusted to him (modeling a business plan and writing a pitch deck for a fundraising round). He far exceeded our expectations. Not only were our issues quickly understood, but François provided us with a high-quality deliverable within an extremely tight deadline. If the opportunity arises again, we would be delighted to work with him again.
