What Clients & Teams Have Said

Passionate is what comes to mind when I think about Chandler. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Chandler, during which he has provided valuable advice and perspective on transitioning our advocacy group into a non-profit. Above all, I was impressed with Chandler's ability to access helpful resources, and identify upcoming challenges. And, of course, his enthusiasm! Chandler would be a true asset for any organization requiring energy and dedication, especially with causes oriented towards social justice

Chandler is an epitome of a leader. Chandler is mentoring our University of Washington School of Nursing scientific team and is helping us revolutionize dementia care. What makes Chandler stand out is his passion, commitment, generous allocation of time and attention to the mentees' needs, extensive knowledge, skills, networks, and genuine commitment to improving healthcare and helping nonprofits succeed. Chandler is a genuinely exceptional human being, leader, mentor, and adviser.

Chandler had shepherded me from having little knowledge of how to implement a good idea outside of academia to the point where I have a solid business plan to present with confidence to several types of potential stakeholders and partners. With his guidance, we have obtained thousands of dollars of competitive startup funding, most recently from the Innovation Gap Fund, which I am sure we would not have been able to do without his help.
- Dr. Brian Shirts, UW Medicine, Department of Laboratory Medicine & Pathology

This was my first time trying out a startup competition and honestly, Chandler was amazing! He’s a great person to talk to and was there at every step of our startup. He provided invaluable information and I don’t think it wouldn’t have been anything as close as fun the experience we got without him. Chandler was the most responsive mentor we had. He communicated quickly and made sure that we got where we wanted to be!

It's been really great working with you. Your insights are very helpful. I think the amount of time he was available for discussions was really wonderful!

Chandler mentored my team in the UW Startup-a-thon and he is GREAT! Before meeting Chandler, he sent me some resources to look at, which was really helpful. My team and I then had a couple of meetings with him to work on our slides and our business concept. He really really helped us and I personally learned a lot! It was very easy to communicate with Chandler. I would say the best thing that I did not see in other mentors is that Chandler is also invested in our business concept and overall project. Not only did he offer to meet with him for a second time, he actually came to our presentation and helped us prepare for the pitch beforehand. I love that he stayed throughout the presentation and after to give us support!
- Britney, PhotoMed - StartUp UW

It was amazing. Chandler is very passionate about helping our team, very flexible, working extra hours around any time to ensure that my team's pitch was perfect. The mentoring session went great, the pitch deck result was amazing, and the pitch went smooth and amazing because of his advice.
- Stanley, PhotoMed - StartUp UW

Chandler is a great mentor who always guides us to go in right track. He helped our team starting from business requirement gathering, way to approach client, things need to take care during your system implementation, all information related to funding. He always reviews our progress and shares his suggestion for improvements. He is always eager to listen to our problems and concerns, then give valuable suggestions. He also always comes fully prepared and with an agenda before joining any meeting.

I worked with Chandler regarding my idea for the Queen Silvia Award, as well as creating a pitch for an application to the I-Corp program at the University of Washington. His feedback was appropriate, thorough, and extremely helpful - I was able to refine my pitch into its best possible form using his guidance, expertise, and mentorship. Chandler is also responsive and consistent: he never made me wait long for a response to my messages, was flexible and accommodating when I needed it, and always honored his promises and commitments in a timely manner. Chandler's recommendations regarding changes I should make, resources I should use, and the steps I should take to make my goals a reality have been and will continue to be extremely useful.

Chandler's a respectful, responsive, and consistent communicator. He keeps commitments and makes considered recommendations. I felt that Chandler both had the personal experience and professional expertise to understand my goals and how to best execute them. Chandler also instinctively knew what advice would be best for my particular goals and how to go about implementing them. I look forward to continuing to work with Chandler throughout the coming year.
- Michael, QRx - UW School of Nursing

Chandler met with me twice as an MS ENTRE mentor. He was super helpful in providing basic tools such as the lean canvas for me to fill out. He then reviewed it with me the second time we met to make sure I understood. Chandler is great and I look forward to working more together!
