Alexis Ohanian

Partner @ Y-Combinator

"VentureCraft’s managing partner, Shaun, is an innovative problem solver who would often arrive at solutions none of us had even considered. Furthermore, a number of the projects he did were as analytical as they were artistic. That obsessive attention to detail as both an artist and researcher undoubtedly sets him apart from most."

Andris Merkulovs

CEO @ Monetizr

"Shaun and his team provided a VERY hands-on and detailed review of our seed fundraising deck. Our pitch review session was like a mentorship one on one. Literally on the same day after making pitch deck adjustments, we closed an angel investor. 5 days later, we signed a SAFE note for $25k. And 3 more in the following week. Shaun's feedback really made an impact!"

Peter Kassel

CEO @ HealthySole

"Working with VentureCraft was an absolute pleasure! Within 30 minutes of speaking together, we pinpointed weak spots in my current company presentation and bounced ideas back and forth about how best to get things right. Working with Shaun was smooth and productive. He was always prepared and delivered items on time. Working with Shaun was a breath of fresh air. I am using the materials we developed together today and believe my company and our prospects are better for it."
