"ICN was extremely responsive," said Larry Orr, general partner, Trinity Ventures. "They worked with us to develop a spec, interview a slate of candidates, check references, and hire the right person -- all in the course of a few weeks."

"ICN did a fantastic job for us," said Vik Gupta, principal, JP Morgan Partners. "They quickly identified suitable candidates, did extremely thorough reference work, and provided superb guidance and advice."

"The retained search we had underway was not producing the results we needed," said Alex Mendez, general partner, Storm Ventures. "The Interim CEO Network stepped in and promised both speed and quality. Within three weeks we had a highly talented CEO on board who has since converted to permanent. It's a model that works."

"I'm a repeat customer and highly recommend The Interim CEO Network," said Eric Young, general partner, Canaan Partners. "They promise 'quality and speed' and they deliver."

"ICN's approach allows you to save significant time in the search process without sacrificing any quality." - Max Straube, general partner, OCG Ventures.

"We were amazed by the speed and quality of the ICN process," said John Hall, managing director, Horizon Ventures. "It's unique and effective. We highly recommend The Interim CEO Network."

"The Norwest experience with Mike Braun and the ICN team has been excellent," said Matt Howard, principal, Norwest Venture Partners. "The degree of their involvement before, during, and after the placement is truly unique and of high value."

"The quality and speed of the service is amazing," said Michael Linnert, general partner, Technology Crossover Ventures. "We had six candidates the day after retaining Mike Braun's team. We interviewed two in the first week. Both were excellent. Our portfolio company got a truly great leader. The traditional search approach would have taken many months and probably not yielded the same quality person."

"Focused, responsive and successful." - Jack Harrington, Advanced Technology Ventures.

Tom Bredt, managing director, Menlo Ventures, said, "The Interim CEO Network team aren't headhunters. They're more like 'leadership doctors'. They are operating people who dig in, understand the business and situation, and then recommend action. Recently, we had to make a change at a very high potential company that had put itself behind the eight ball. The Interim CEO Network recommended an 'interim to permanent' approach and found us a great CEO in a week. Then they stayed involved throughout the engagement to provide their support and resources. It's a most unique and high quality service."
