Testimonials

I was very fortunate to have worked with Jeff at Boca Raton's first ever Startup Weekend and learn from his previous experiences, business philosophies, and approach to tech startups. It's extremely refreshing to know that a guy like Jeff exists here in South Florida and we are very lucky to have him as a dedicated mentor to our ecosystem and its emerging tech companies!

W Jeffery Brown is an honest boss. He is my first overseas boss and the best one I ever had. In a world where telecommute jobs are almost rare, Jeff provided this opportunity in June 2010, providing me great support at a time when I wanted to spend most of my time with my toddler. Despite the cultural differences between us, he respects all his editors/writers and understands them and their needs well. I heartily recommend Jeff and would be too happy to continue work with him.

Jeff is a strategic thinker with a deep and thorough knowledge of the information technology field. I met Jeff for a consultation on strategic planning of Mappix, the photo-mapping system I invented and I am currently developing. I got so much out of the advise he gave me. His knowledge of the market, distribution channels, marketing and legal issues came from his experience and knowledge and it was precisely what my venture needed. It was the best consultation that I've ever had and it is the blue print I am following now

Jeff is Rocking the local startup ecosystem! His first hand experience allows him to see trends that are opening up long before the mainstream. I am excited to have Jeff as a mentor for myself and our community. His insight is more valuable than any words I can express. His input at Startup Weekend Boca Raton was as direct as I have ever seen, no fluff, all action.

Mark Laymon

Mr. Brown is one of the most intelligent business minds I've met to date. He thinks "outside the box" and is able to provide valuable recommendations from the "client or user" perspective (which is much more difficult than it seems for a business owner). He's someone I highly recommend reaching out to should your business require consulting advice.

I met Jeff as a mentor at Startup Weekend Orlando, and he was one of the most knowledgeable, accessible, and helpful mentors there. His insights in both business and technology taught me a lot and really helped solidify our project.

Mathew Dumas

Great mentor for Start-ups, Jeff was ready and willing to help our company get going in the right direction. He even offered to get up in the middle of the night to answer our questions in person. That type of "Hands on" dedication is what we Iook for in Advisors and investors.

Robert Robinson

Jeff was a mentor at the 2012 Startup Weekend Orlando. He assisted with developing and articulating my business model, with making the best use of the time we had, and with the content and delivery of my pitch. He evidenced a deep understanding of the process and it was clear he spoke with great experience. I found him very approachable and readily helpful.

Vishal Jiawon

Jeffrey helped us tremendously with his vast knowledge in both digital and traditional business. He was a great adviser and we look forward to working more with him.

Daniel McGaw

In the brief time I have known Jeff, he has been very generous with his time and expertise, offering valuable advice from an seasoned professional's point of view. As an entrepreneur transitioning out of corporate sales and marketing roles, his perspective on building a startup, on technology considerations and on preparing for discussions with investors have been highly...more

Jeff provided great feedback to me for Sponsorist during a Godfather mentoring sessions with a few other angel investors at the EDC. Jeff's feedback about the site/business was valuable, and he brought up some great points about payments and banking issues that I found very helpful. I look forward to the opportunity to get more feedback from Jeff in the future, through group or one-on-one mentoring sessions.

Rosston Meyer

I worked with Jeff on several journalism pieces for his firm Honey Tree Holdings, LLC. As well as being an Internet Jedi whose advice is invaluable, Jeff has the rare quality of being a collaborator. He actually listens to your ideas and seeks a dialog instead of a domineering, top-down management style that can be common in the emerging technology field. Jeff is a good manager and good people!
