“Alexander's casual approach to BD is a breath of fresh air. This intro class is perfect for young professionals who have just joined Start-ups at a junior or intern level. It's important to note that Alex focuses mostly on tech companies for his case studies and that if you already have some knowledge of BD best practices, his more advanced class would be better suited to you.”

“What I like about these classes is how real they are - I found the examples of reach out emails very helpful, even though I like to think I'm pretty good at saying the right thing, etc. It was great to see real examples of the ways you approach people and to be reminded to keep these emails really short. Even though you were very tired, you delivered! Again, what is valuable about your classes is the extent to which they are lifted from your actual experience.”

“Alexander shares lessons learned from his experience in business development in this class, full of practical bread-and-butter advice for actually getting out there and getting deals done. He teaches knowledge you can apply immediately. Extremely helpful class. I think it's essential for anyone in a startup. If you're not in BD, it's a great class to get a handle on how deals get done. If you are, well, you should take this class to learn from Alex's years of experience, since there's bound to be new ideas that you can apply.”

“Alex's class was extremely practical in addressing the issues that face someone working in BD for a startup product. Things like 'how long to wait if someone doesn't respond to an email' almost seem too non-academic to address but he leads an insightful discussion on this. If you're thinking about BD, or just taking a brand new product to market, take this class.”

“Alex demonstrated that the best and most productive business development relationships tend to evolve 'naturally' (i.e., from open discussions and not hard-core pitching) but creating conditions for that evolution takes hard work and planning. Beyond identifying that challenge, he provided concrete suggestions and frameworks for how to create those conditions both on a personal and a company level.”
