What People Say About Dan Caligor
Ariel Beery
General Partner, CoVelocity; Co-Founder MobileODT; Co-Founder PresenTense
Dan is one of the most helpful consultants and management coaches I have ever met, let alone had the privilege to work with. I have had the great fortune to work with him on a regular basis since 2010, and benefited greatly from his experience, wisdom and ability to focus me on the important things as a manager and executive. Dan guided me through a strategic planning process that enabled me to transition out of an organization I co-founded, and then helped support me as I co-founded a new company in an entirely different space. I highly recommend Dan to anyone, in any field, for his ability to ask the right questions and provide the reality check that entrepreneurs and managers often require.
David Coleman
Program Administrator, Refugee Employment Partnership; Founder, SoundStreak
I consider myself extremely lucky to have met Dan and worked with him. He’s a thoughtful, big-picture strategist and he’s wonderful at supporting founders. He starts by really listening and really understanding the situation leadership faces – he digs in and does his homework. I found the advice he gave me transformative. He helped me to sharpen my approach to making difficult decisions and to develop and feel comfortable with my own style of management. Throw in that he’s honest, caring, funny, and generous by nature, and you’ve got a winning combination.
Ira Wallace, MD
Investor, Advisor; Founder, EyeIC
Dan’s sharp and thorough analysis, detailed and realistic financial strategy and honest feedback to the team were integral to EyeIC’s startup success.
David Levitz
Co-Founder, MobileODT; CEO, DL Analytics
Dan has been advising my startup for years, starting very early on, before the company was officially founded. He now also sits on the board. He helped my co-founder and I make key decisions regarding the technology we are developing, the market we are entering, filing IP, design of our clinical trial, as well as overall business strategy. He is the guy in the meeting asking all the tough questions, and is our quick go-to guy whenever issues come up, pointing out things that are not obvious to my co-founder and I. ... Dan has exemplary personal integrity - he is extremely trustworthy, and knows how to adapt business strategy to my core values as a person.
Jonah Mink, MD
CEO & Co-Founder, Beluga health; Medical Director, Healthy.io
Dan is a pleasure to work with. He is professional and team oriented and consistently offers insight from multiple angles to help our team tackle problems the right way. He's a broad thinker with a broad skill set. Love working with him and would highly recommend him!
Aharon Horowitz
CEO, AutoLeadStar; Co-Founder, PresenTense
Dan's been a key advisor on two companies, including my latest startup, 40Nuggets. During our founding and growth stage Dan provided us with regular--weekly and more--guidance on strategy, product development, financial strategy. His advice was on target and resulted in important business decisions that proved key to our company's growth plan. He's really brilliant, insightful, and has a wisdom and intuition that comes with years of experience and a highly organized mind. I'd highly recommend Dan to anyone at any stage of building their business.
Matt Hensrud
Principal Engineer, Freshly; Technical Lead, SoundStreak
I've worked with Dan for nearly a decade, and hope to do so for a couple more. As a CEO, he has the ability to understand every part of his business, from the deeply technical & esoteric, to grand long term strategy. While I'm speaking in superlatives, I'll add "incisive", "attentive", and "patient" to the list of traits that make him an excellent CEO, COO, or analyst.
Most importantly, he has always been an excellent mentor — I make better business decisions simply by wondering which course he would take.
Yael Misrahi
General Partner, CoVelocity
Dan is a sharp, talented and compassionate professional. He has supported me in shaping and reaching my objectives both professionally and personally. We’ve worked together on a variety of topics, especially business models and commercialization, and Dan always makes the work easier and better. I’ve had the privilege of working with Dan for almost 5 years and in every interaction I learn something new. I highly recommend any business or manager looking to grow have a conversation with Dan, you’ll learn more than you could have hoped for.
