Testimonials
"Danny Warshay is a "cool cat!"
That was how a venture capitalist and industry guru described Danny
and it turned out to be true! Danny is even-headed and understated--
focused on achieving the goals and tasks at hand rather than the
emotion and peripherals of a situation. In fact, Danny was
instrumental in a) guiding our development and partnering strategy;
b) creating the appropriate presentation and marketing material; and
c) presenting to and working with our target companies. Besides his
excellent communications and planning skills, his mentoring and
coaching skills were invaluable for Aeolus. These skills were also
invaluable for me --accelerating my personal, professional
development. Furthermore, Danny is excellent at "reading" people --
very helpful when we had a meeting with a $50 million public
company. Finally, leveraging Danny's past experiences -- working
with large and small companies-- was commonplace in working towards
our partnering goals. Therefore, I would highly recommend Danny as
an integral part of one's business building team."

"The
early days of starting a company are full of excitement, but a lot
of uncertainty and hard work too. When you have no time to spare, it
helps to have someone that can give you an experienced answer
quickly and save you from a lot of wrong turns. That's exactly how
Danny helped me in my first company; with experience he's gleaned
from countless other start-up ventures. Whether you're courting an
investor, finding your first customer, or eventually selling your
company, Danny's been there before, and can offer you the lessons he
spent years learning."

"In difficult
financial times new ventures are susceptible to whipsaw by potential
investors. Danny has the experience, and is not afraid to help you
keep the course, or suggest modifications when needed. He is one of
those rare individuals who can look at business opportunities
organically, and before altering direction, can help balance
short-term tactical requirements with long term strategies.
One of the most demanding
tasks a start-up entrepreneur must face is to step back and take an
introspective look. Danny helps you with this process, as only a
seasoned entrepreneur can--on an ongoing basis. He is not a critic
or an editor; he's a real hands-on contributor. He is a great coach,
mentor, and advisor."

Dear Danny
It's rapidly approaching
one year since we began working together and I wanted to express my
gratitude for all that you have accomplished to date for me and the
company. What started as a general business consulting arrangement
has evolved into an incredibly close relationship which I couldn't
conceive doing without. I have increasingly leaned on you for
operational, marketing and strategic guidance. You have been a
continuous source of clear thinking, a gently persuasive challenge
to convention, a sounding board when things get lonely at the helm,
a daily coach on items large and small.
More specifically, you
helped devise the strategy which shaped the current business plan.
You made introductions to a number of vendors which are now part of
our team. You have used your vast network to introduce us to
numerous health industry leaders; several strategic partnerships are
emerging from these invaluable contacts.
I have learned to trust
and to rely on your intelligence, your good judgment, and above all,
your integrity. These sentiments seem to be shared by all who have
had dealings with you.
Once again, thanks and
let's plan on working together for a long, long time.

As President of our Board of
Trustees, Danny has been instrumental in transforming Brown Hillel
from a small campus synagogue into a major cultural and religious
center with a new state-of-the-art $9 million facility. Danny has
taught us to manage our Hillel foundation as an entrepreneurial
venture. He helped us to develop a plan and to clarify our objectives.
And his indefatigable efforts have helped us to understand, to reach
out to, and to serve our students, our alumni and our community more
effectively. With the significant new financial demands imposed by our
growth and our new facility, Danny's efforts have also helped us
maximize our fundraising potential. In short, Danny has helped us
transform ourselves into a first-rate institution.
