What Our Mentors & Mentees Say
"I’m grateful to have the opportunity to advise Nathaniel and the SPAITR team on their startup journey, it’s been a truly rewarding experience. Nathaniel is extremely dedicated to the company and ensuring its success, and he’s doing all of the right things to progress forward every day. I’m proud of how far the company has already come, and I’m excited for the journey still ahead. I have no doubt they will be very successful."
-MIKE CATUDAL, MENTOR
"Making the connection with Mike has played an integral role to SPAITR’s development. The connection began as just someone to help us find a consultant to design our prototype, but it turned into a relationship where Mike has helped the company in a plethora of different ways! From helping us find a consultant, to helping us with our entire raise process, to joining me on meetings with potential partners, Mike’s guidance and dedication has helped the company grow exponentially since our meeting and he will continue to play a foundational role in our growth in the future!"
