What other people say about me -

"Candice was instrumental in helping our team streamline the deal flow processes across our existing tech stack. We were under-utilizing the capabilities of technologies like Airtable. She advised us on using the tools at our disposal to save our team our most precious resource -- time -- enabling us to focus more on our core diligence work. Her experience architecting processes and leveraging data to evolve is clear, and we're happy to learn from her leadership. Supply Change highly recommends working with Candice; she will be an accelerator to any team that she engages with." 
- Supply Change Capital

"No doubt about it, Candice is solid - she is equally effective, whether adeptly supporting an effort in the background or front and center commanding and controlling a room. It is easy to pick up on her sincere feeling of ownership and observe as it reassures a team. These attributes were indispensable to our firm as she helped us build and implement our improved investment operations. She has a healthy and refreshing #NoFilter when necessary - if you're a fan of cutting through the bull. With Candice, not only does the train run on time, but it's going to a valuable and compelling destination." 
- Kelby Price, Managing Partner, Keyhorse Capital

“Candice's due diligence and deal flow management materials are unmatched! The material is intentional and thorough, covering the breadth and depth of each area appropriately. During group office hours, Candice is an amazing facilitator, taking the time to address everyone's questions and putting in time outside the sessions to be helpful. As an associate at an emerging fund, I found the course especially helpful in giving me actionable steps and proven methods to bring to our team to improve our processes.”
- Marigrace Ragsdale, VC Investor
