Abiant Testimonials

As the CEO of a developing stage company in the life sciences, I would highly recommend Cliff Turner of the Heartland Angels team as a consulting team member. It is vital for small, growth-focused companies to tap into experienced resources who can contribute to the growth of the business. Of particular importance are revenue growth, strategic partnership development, and investor relationships. However, it is often not possible for early stage companies to support full time employees for these activities. The consulting relationships available through Heartland Angels offer an ideal solution, by providing expertise on a consulting basis as well as a fruitful network of contacts. Cliff Turner brings extensive experience in business development that includes new customer identification and introductions, strategic partner relationship development, market landscape assessment, and strategic input. We found that he was able to contribute immediately and productively, with exceptional skill in the type of relationship building and management that is critical for customer pipeline development. His knowledge of the life sciences industry, as well as his leadership experience in initiatives to bridge industry and academia, have contributed to his ability to support our company’s efforts. A company’s success is dependent upon its people, and the ability to augment one’s team with consultants such as Cliff can tangibly contribute to that success.
