^{"Few people have the chance to work with a consultant and advisor who then becomes a mentor and coach. I’ve been fortunate to have that opportunity in knowing and working with Adam. At The Forbes Funds, we support nonprofit capacity building and multi-sector partnerships to tackle challenges across the region. We contracted with Adam to help train our team in facilitation (during/post COVID) and human-centered design strategies. Our goal was to make collaboration more accessible for nonprofits and social impact organizations both during the pandemic and beyond. Working with Adam, we were able to use Miro and dynamic templates to create engaging and simple-to-use exercises for our collaborative work. So far, we’ve utilized these skills and techniques to work with individuals and teams locally, nationally, and internationally pushing them to think differently about problems and potential solutions. As a mentor, Adam has taught me how to reimagine what is possible by asking “how might we” instead of immediately looking for solutions that only address short term challenges. I would 100% recommend working with Adam/maad! I now not only think outside of the box but I remove limitations and consider if the box is really necessary at all."}

^{"I owe much of my personal success as an entrepreneur to my relationship with Adam. My co-founder and I started BlastPoint in Adam’s class at Carnegie Mellon in 2016. He’s been our champion since day one, and began working with us in a formal advisory capacity in 2021 as we geared up to go from proving value to proving scalability and growth. In less than two years, Adam has helped me completely overhaul and upgrade strategies and key processes in sales, customer success, product, fundraising, and more. The results of our work are undeniably exciting as we project to beat our own benchmarks. Whatever it is that you need to be doing, Adam has “been there, done that” successfully multiple times over. He has the experience, frameworks, and philosophies that are invaluable to a first time founder building a high-growth AI startup. He has the rare ability to completely immerse himself in your world and then apply his vast experience to the context of your business. Together, we have done everything from the tactical (e.g. overhaul our sales deck, down to the font selection) to the strategic (e.g. design and implement a comprehensive revenue generation and growth strategy). I feel lucky to have his advice and even prouder to be able to implement it. Adam teaches you how to fish. The frameworks and ways of thinking I’ve learned through Adam’s mentorship apply not just to the many important areas of my company, but will also apply to any other entrepreneurial endeavor I might embark on in the future. Adam’s advice has helped me become a more intentional, effective, and confident founder. He has taught me how to be truly and ruthlessly focused, which lets me take the right next step confidently even under situations of extreme uncertainty and pressure. All of this extends even beyond business, and has allowed me to do more while keeping a healthier work life balance. I could go on forever about Adam. They say entrepreneurs need good mentors and now it is so clear to me why. If you are lucky enough to have an opportunity to work with Adam, take it! I am so glad I did."}
