"Rodeo has been a key partner in setting up our operations for success. It's been great to have their help and network in conducting co-man, supplier, and other searches, as well as working through the many details of startup operations. They are a pleasure to work with and feel like a part of the team!" -Elaine Hsu, Head of Product, Planet FWD
