2 out of 2 people recommended Thomas.

Thomas has been with us since the very beginning of our crazy adventure. He has always pushed in the right direction (whatever that turned out to be for us) and let us figure things out on our own. He is extremely knowledgeable about real-world and online communities, and he is a big proponent of lean. Test everything. Do it in small bites and see what you learn then use that knowledge to drive yourself and your vision further. I am extremely glad to count him not only as an advisor but as a friend.

As an entrepreneur, I try to get as much feedback and advice as possible. This creates noise. When there is noise, Thomas is always there to help find the signal. His advice is always sopt on and he brings a wicked amount of knowledge across the board from product to strategy to community engagement to execution.
