“Peter is awesome to work with, super professional, with a can-do mentality, and great positive mindset. Most importantly - Peter delivers. He gets the job done, even if, and especially so – when the job is hard. He knows how to lead all stakeholders - founders, board members, shareholders, and of course the buyers - through the process and land the deal. We are truly fortunate to work with Peter and the VCP team, and would choose them again in a heartbeat.”

- Dror Ben-Naim, CEO of Smart Sparrow

“Sameer and Peter were exceptional to work with, their hard work and advice were critical to a successful outcome. Patient and strategic, they were truly looking out for the best interests of our company and investors. Some advisors are content in a passive role, but they were not afraid to dig into the details, give us honest, thoughtful feedback, and really lead the charge until the deal closed. We unquestionably valued them as partners throughout the process”

- Derek Dunaway, former CEO of Chalkable
