From the very beginning, Jason was incredibly helpful. Throughout the process, Jason made everything run smoothly and professionally. His expertise and personalized approach exceeded our expectations.
Thunder was my secret weapon while fundraising. They supported me with key analysis to help close my debt financing. They gave great guidance on fundraising. The team go above and beyond and deliver on what they say they are going to do.
Coming out of our raise I am more indebted to Jason & his team for all of their advice, guidance, and leaderships than anyone else. That's a big achievement given our scale.
Thunder's responsiveness & willingness to help allowed us to close our pre-seed and seed stage investments quickly. We're thrilled to have Jason as a part of the team and strongly recommend founders to work with him!
I'm incredibly grateful for Jason. I knew I needed growth capital, but I had no idea how to get it. Jason made it so easy. I plan to use Thunder for all our capital needs in the future.
Jason has been like fairy dust for me. It has been great putting together a pitch deck and seeing investors respond to it so positively. Dealing with Thunder has made me so much more optimistic about my business.
We would be nowhere without Thunder! Thunder has helped introduce us to investors and survive & thrive in what has been a very tough investor market these past 5 years.
I had the chance to work with the Thunder team in the past, and the experience was phenomenal. From the very first interaction, it was clear they truly understand what founders need—not just pitch decks and intros, but real support that moves the needle.
