Great experience in working with Ali.

I’ve known Aayush since middle school, when we bonded over robotics and countless other creative endeavors. Even back then, his ability to see the bigger picture and plan for real user needs was remarkable. Aayush has always been a visionary team player with a knack for making ideas come to life—and that’s exactly what makes him an exceptional product manager. I couldn’t be prouder to endorse him for any product role or coaching opportunity.

Miri is, by far, the best mentor and coach that I've ever had the pleasure of working with in my 10+ year Marketing career! She's a clear communicator, keenly insightful, and an engaging leader who knows how to bring the best out of you - both personally and professionally. Miri truly cared to see me grow and become a more effective leader and manager while I was under her mentorship. She knows how to create a space where you feel comfortable to have candid, honest conversations about what you truly want to achieve in your career (or life) or where you need to improve - but she never forgets to reinforce your strengths, to help you see your potential, and to lead with compassion (and a good sense of humor!). I've never left a conversation with Miri without having greater clarity about what I needed to do next to achieve my goals - or without understanding what I was truly capable of achieving in my career! I highly recommend Miri as a personal or professional coach.

I highly recommend Ms. G as an outstanding college coach. Throughout my time working with her, she has proven to be a dedicated, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful mentor who made a significant impact on my college journey. Ms. G's expertise in navigating the college admissions process was invaluable, especially during moments when I thought getting into college would be too difficult. She not only provided insightful guidance on how to enhance my application, but also offered practical advice on preparing for the challenges of college life. Her support helped me stay motivated and focused, even when I was unsure of how to move forward. What truly sets Ms. G apart is her personal commitment to each of her students. She takes the time to understand individual goals and challenges, tailoring her guidance to meet each student's needs. Her approachable nature and genuine passion for helping others succeed made me feel confident that I could achieve my dreams. Thanks to Ms. G’s expertise and unwavering encouragement, I was able to secure a place at my desired college, something I initially thought was out of reach. Her mentorship has been truly transformative, and I am incredibly grateful for her help and dedication.

Jonathan is an exemplary early-stage investor with an unparalleled affinity for not just picking winners, but actively creating success with his founders. I’ve been fortunate to work directly with him, witnessing firsthand his dexterity in managing the spectrum of stakeholders as a VC. His mastery of the craft is second only to the quality of friend and mentor he is—one whose emotional intelligence and unique insights crystallize his edge & distinguish him in the industry.

Helped me with consulting recruiting and casing interviews

INTERNATIONAL FEMALE APPLICANT ACCEPTED TO STANFORD GSB Greg is a true mentor. His knowledge and expertise were indispensable in this process. I am an aspiring tech entrepreneur from Europe. Graduated from a top-20 university in the U.S. with a major in business. I was very passionate about applying to my dream school even in the times of the utmost crisis. Working with Greg at Avanti Prep allowed me to remain on track and transformed my approach to telling my story in my essays and interview. I met Greg only a week before the application deadline, so unfortunately, did not have much chance to work together for a longer period of time. Greg reviewed each of my Stanford essays once and his feedback was incredibly valuable as I was completing my final drafts. A few weeks later, I received the invitation to interview and asked Greg if he could offer interview prep. I signed up for the 3-hour interview prep service, through which Greg worked with me for an additional hour or hour-and-a-half without extra charge over two video calls. Greg was extremely dedicated and knowledgeable about the Stanford GSB interview, and he tailored both his mock interview questions and feedback to the program and to me. Along with going through the questions and feedback, Greg essentially guided me through a self-reflection process through which I gained valuable insights about myself to use in the interview and beyond. I can’t imagine the experience being any more thorough or helpful, and he and provided advice and insights that I will be using in any interview moving forward. In both the essay reviews and interview prep, Greg invested his time and energy in understanding my story in a short amount of time. You can clearly see that Greg is dedicated and engaged – and that he has a special talent for storytelling and helping you tell your story – which allows him to offer best consulting expertise regardless of the time frame. I was so pleasantly surprised that even though we only worked together on essay reviews and interview prep, Greg came super prepared and dedicated to my success. Moreover, he is very open-minded and ready for challenges. I know well that my background was not typical for an MBA student and Greg showed me how I can turn my weaknesses into strengths. I would recommend Avanti Prep to any applicant. I am heading to Stanford GSB as a result!

I have worked with Anisha throughout my entire life and she is extremely dedicated with great work ethic. Anisha is super knowledgeable and has helped me personally with multiple challenges including school work and career advice. Anisha is always on top of things and make sure to fulfill all her commitments.

Anisha provided some great startup advice that helped me focus my effort on what actually mattered. She asked some great questions I hadn’t considered.

I worked with Shaida for a a couple of coaching sessions for my college applications. She helped me finetune my essays, provided lots of feedback, and had a very good understanding of the subjects and education/experience to overall make my essays stronger. I highly recommend her!
