Client Testimonials

"Everyone who meets Dan Hussain of American Pioneer Ventures is struck by his devotion to entrepreneurship as a calling. Our experience has been that within one week of learning of a new technology, he can develop a full strategy for protecting intellectual property and raising capital to exploit it. Within one month, he can write a set of multiple full-fledged interlocking U.S. patents. Dan has a track record of getting such patents issued in months rather than years, and acts as a powerful advocate for young companies."

     Marc Siegel, Director of Software Development, KD Secure LLC

"Dan Hussain and Dan Goldman of American Pioneer Ventures were instrumental in the original  intellectual property strategy, business development, business plan writing, and ultimate funding of Pioneer Energy, helping to take Pioneer Energy to full company implementation in under 2 years.   I put a great deal of trust and faith in the American Pioneer Ventures team.  It is fair to say my faith was well placed."

     Dr. Robert Zubrin, President, Pioneer Energy and President, Pioneer Astronautics

"Dan has been invaluable for my company. His patent expertise and work ethic are exemplary, and he has a very keen business sense as well, which came in very handy for an upstart techie like me. What amazed me about Dan was how quickly he understood the gist of the process I was working on, without any real world experience in my particular industry. He was also willing to take equity as payment because he believed in my company's potential - a great benefit if you're a small company just starting out."

     Oleg Shinkazh, Founder and President, Chromatan Inc.

"On September 11, 2006, our Corporation found Dan Hussain by checking the yellow pages for agents in our zip code. There was a spark, something special when we contacted Dan. When my partner Wolter Fidali and I had our first meeting with Dan he provided a very professional portfolio.   We contacted his clients, and were pleased with their comments.

Our experience with Dan and his associate Seth Snyder has been terrific. With Dan’s knowledge and assistance we applied for a patent on December 14, 2006 and obtained a Patent on April 22, 2008 and have just signed an agreement with a company who has a license to make and sell our invention.

Dan has been with us all the way on our adventure to obtain our first patent. We are on another adventure with Dan and expect to file for another patent with the assistance of American Pioneer Ventures this year.

We have continued our relationship with Dan and recently met with Dan Goldman, another strong and qualified member of Dan’s team. We anticipate a long and lucrative relationship with America Pioneer Ventures because they strive to be fair, energetic, and aggressive when necessary and stay with you until you achieve your goal."

     Robert Logan, President, Senduzy Corp.

"We have never considered engaging anyone else as we feel that Dan’s skill and capability in this field is likely without parallel. Our confidence in Dan stems not only from the extreme competence he has demonstrated but also from the results he has obtained in the successful issuance of three United States Patents for our technology.

Dan has a preternatural ability to articulate the novelty, non-obviousness, and
usefulness of inventions. His talent and skill have allowed us to successfully obtain patents and facilitated the expansion of our portfolio of intellectual property. His work product has consistently been superb and we continuously engage him on each patent application we file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office."

     Foster Sayers, JD, Vice President, KD Secure LLC
