The Impono team pulled our business plan together in six weeks, creating multiple opportunities for our Series A funding after running in circles with Seed funding for two years. Our Board loves them. Their approach to breaking how we thought about strategy so that we were focused more on innovation and execution gave us the push we needed to move into the bigger leagues.
