+ Can I Book Another Call?
Of course. We found that our individuals and organizations that use Val have multiple ideas they want to explore and analyze. That's why we sell 3-call packages. NOTE: Every call should be treated as a new idea. Val is trained to start with ideation and exploration. So, treat each call as a chance to explore a NEW idea.

I’m Aron Meystedt, based in Southern California. I am a startup founder, advisor and investor. I am an LP (limited partner) in several venture capital and angel groups, one being Tech Coast Angels in Orange County, CA. I frequently talk to college students about startups and business.
