"I cannot recommend Ali enough. I met Ali when he delivered a public speaking bootcamp for Gibraltar Girls in Tech, Feb 2020. I felt a major achievement and boost of confidence following the bootcamp and Ali has excellent techniques to help in conquering and utilising the adrenaline that standing up and speaking in front of a crowd brings. I cannot thank Ali enough, and highly recommend to anyone looking to master public speaking skills." - Andrew Bryant

"A mentor once taught me that there is no great writing, just great rewriting, so when I needed to take a pitch deck to the next level, I knew what I needed to do. Ali Parendeh is a mentor to start-ups and so knows just what investors are looking for. His forensic examination of my pitch deck revealed the crimes of omission in my writing. I highly recommend you reach out to Ali when your pitch needs to sell your idea." - Pedro Rocha
(CEO & Founder PixelAR Studio)
"Ali approach of pointing issues to improve in a humble and supportive way is a trait of a great mentor. Some mentors just criticize, without giving any clear help on how to improve, while others are arrogant in how they "support". Ali just nailed it! Definitely recommend him as a mentor, trainer or advisor." - Federico Sujoluzky
(Co-CEO of Qoala)
"Ali helped me optimize KuPay´s Pitch Deck, the one we used to successfully close our pre-seed investment round." - Manuel Morales
(Founder & CEO at Nubentos)
"There is no waste of time when you Ali shares his experience and knowledge with you. Every minute is worth it, every idea is usefull. Ali is the ultimate mentor. He brings together essential qualities for this important work, which goes far beyond just possessing knowledge. Ali is a good listener, reads between the lines and will easily make accurate assumptions about details you haven't told him. As a mentor, Ali makes you feel like you're investing your time wisely, because instead of theorizing, he throws himself headlong into practical advice, into "what you can do, what you should do," depending on your situation and goal." - Nacho Sánchez Vázquez
(Investment Associate at Adara Ventures)
"I have had the pleasure of witnessing Ali's expertise during the mentorship sessions we organize with startups at Demium. His knowledge about startups and his endless advices on public speaking are the perfect mix that makes Ali a great mentor for any project willing to learn and grow."
