I've now worked with David at/for four different of my startups, and recommend him and his team very highly. They provide services at the amazing combination of high quality and still at startup-friendly rates. Strong attention to detail, tons of domain expertise, and a great balance of giving counsel that's productive and helpful. David's also very personable, which is of huge importance to me when working with third parties. Highly recommend.
