Testimonials
“If you have the opportunity to work with Andrea Barrica, you need to take it. She is authentic, honest, and brilliant. Her experience as an entrepreneur and venture partner make her incredibly versatile and best suited to build and tell stories that CRUSH! Andrea pushed us to build a story for our venture and our team that was impactful, personable, and memorable. That story helped put us in a much better spot to raise our initial round of funding and strengthen Growbot’s brand in the marketplace. We can’t thank her enough and couldn’t recommend her more highly as a mentor and pitch coach. ”
“We sat down with Andrea Barrica as soon as we could. She’s a godsend, and everyone who can work with her should. We spent about two months working on it, about once every two weeks for the first month, and then once a week for the last month. Andrea got us very ready... we were ready, because Andrea got us ready.”
“I remember leaving these sessions stressed out and thinking ‘my pitch sucks, it’s boring, it doesn’t say anything about our business...’. Andrea helped me get rid of these misconceptions, put together a traction story that sells the opportunity (instead of the product). Today I feel confident to pitch and have fun communicating Contentools’ story. ”
““ Andrea is a mentor that is always able to strengthen and explore the best potential that we had. She could see that everyone is special and able to empower the special abilities of each. Then with patience and determination accompanied us in achieving the best of our abilities. She was a friend, mentor, also the inspiration to the people around her.” ”
“Andrea is truly amazing. She took our passionate but long-winded ramblings and crafted them into a tight, coherent story. It’s been a night-and-day difference in terms of the conversations we have with investors.”
