Working with early-stage teams : coaching, mentoring, setting strategy, rolling up sleeves: 9/10. “Ok, so this guy can write a blog and source deals but can he make any money?” Sourcing high-quality leads : 9/10.

She was lamenting that some startups simply see their PR company as merely somebody who corrals the press when you want to get some inches. She felt that her firm provides significantly more value as an advisor than simply a press shop. See there are tons of people who play the role of mentor in their own capacity.
