What Our Customers Are Saying…
Working with Silkstart has been a delight for NWEN. Our project manager Kellan was knowledgeable about his product and its abilities. And he was responsive when we reached out (quite often) with questions. Our site www.nwen.org turned out to be as beautiful as it is functional. We have received a great number of compliments from our members as well as other members of Seattle’s startup ecosystem. And we know that it’s only going to get better as SilkStart continues to develop its product offering. We’re thrilled that we chose SilkStart for our member and event management as well as for our new website!- Executive Director, Northwest Entrepreneur Network
SilkStart has proved to be an excellent company to work with. Having worked with several groups of consultants, their customer service receives top marks. They always respond in a timely manner but go the extra mile; they are enthusiastic, innovative, full of ideas and nothing is too much trouble. They make our lives easy and meetings with them are some of the few where I can truly say I come out energized and excited about the project underway. A great operation to join forces with!- Director of Membership Marketing, Vancouver Board of Trade
