Benji Madden

Co-Founder of Veeps

“I honestly really feel as if they are truly an extension of our company, sometimes even more than just an extension. It feels like I'm really part of the team.”

Andrea Loubier

CEO of Mailbird

“The biggest benefits are allowing me to focus on my business. It has taken away the issues of having to deal with an invoice, or having to deal with expenses. It honestly takes so much pressure off of me to be able to focus on me growing a business rather than me focusing on the expense side. That has been the biggest help for me.”

Barton Sidles

Director of Corporate and Business Development of Hubject

“ The biggest solution and value that Escalon is bringing to Propel is helping us get time back. We couldn’t have closed our Series B without all of you.”
