Quinn Hu, Founder & CEO of Distractify
"As a first time founder, I needed an experienced mentor to make sure I was heading in the right direction. Red Rocket provided exactly that, across a wide range of projects, including business planning, financial modeling, competitive research, M&A advisory, media sales strategies, keyword research, recruiting planning and finding us our corporate counsel. Most importantly, George was a role model for how to be a professional, leader, and thinker. As I picked up on the way he breaks down complex problems into simple, logical components, I began solving similarly hard problems on my own. I highly recommend Red Rocket for any high level business needs."
