Jim Hjerpe Kaskade - President & CEO, Eyespot Corporation
“The pace within high-technology companies is staggering, and execution is the only thing that matters. Blackford Partners has been an integral part of my executive management team, and as a trusted advisor, we have worked closely together through complex financing and operational issues. This partnership has translated into real value, allowing me to focus on engaging customers, developing the technology, and building out my team.”

Dan Squiller - CEO, PowerGenix Corporation
“We worked with BlackFord Partners for almost three years before bringing on a full time CFO. During this time we completed several financings with top tier venture firms and our bank, advanced to commercialization of our technology, and had numerous other situations which benefited from having the knowledge and experience of an integrated senior financial executive on the team to assist with both planning and execution. BlackFord provided us with an affordable and impactful means to engage this level of experience that we would not have been able to afford or justify at our stage.”

Fred Muto - Partner, Cooley Godward Kronish, Partner in Charge
“Over the years, we have worked with BlackFord in a number of our clients, and on matters ranging from general business issues to significant financing and M&A transactions. We have found these experiences to be very positive and complimentary to our efforts, as well as effective and valuable to our mutual clients.”

Marco Thompson - Express Ventures
"At some point, an early stage company should consider engaging a part time CFO resource, to integrate with management and provide among other things, experience to develop a credible and fundable financial model, leadership and leverage with the financing process, and operational accountability to the investment plan. I have worked with Stan and Jeff on several deals, including my own company Doctor Design, and can give them a very high recommendation."
