What our clients say



I 100% recommend the Global Advisory Program; without it, Furnicharge would have been a failed venture. I had no customers, and my outreach was lacking severely.
Tim Cochrane
CEO & Founder Furnicharge


GAP advisors helped pinpoint key areas where improvements could be immediately made. These directly led to an increase in sales.


Nathan Torkar
Founder at SolidGPS


Eastern Innovation dived deeply to understand my business and personal requirements, matching me with an Advisor that hit the mark.
