“This class is a MUST if you ever want to successfully negotiate a partnership. I loved the interactive part of the class - it's where you really get to learn. My only wish is that this were made into a full day class so that we can get to work through more mock negotiating situations. Scott - you're the best!!! -- Ellen”

His genuine love of all things Biz Dev resonates through his teaching and makes the concepts and strategies much easier to digest. The Biz Dev game at the end of class was the icing on the cake.

“Scott's Biz Dev 101 class is a really well-planned and informative intro to thinking strategically about business development. The interactive game at the end of the class is a neat exercise that gets you playing like a real biz dev-er. Scott is a very clear communicator and obviously enjoys working with people. I'd look forward to a follow-up class that delves more into the tactics and finer skills of biz dev. In short, I highly recommend Scott as a teacher, and I'd jump at the chance to work with him in a real business setting.”

“It's evident that Scott put a lot of time into preparing his class, and he came with lots of compact knowledge to impart. His presentation was very thorough and works as a guide for startups managing business partnerships with larger organizations. I recommend his class for anyone who thinks they may have a part in "business development" at their organization and wants to learn more about what it means and how to do it right.”

“Scott's class is the best way to get introduced to 'biz dev' topic if you have no idea about what the term means. Scott is very enthusiastic about the topic and this shows during his lecture. The class features one of the best exercises I have ever participated in - the biz dev game. Its fun, interactive and gives you exactly what college never teaches - what actually happens in the real world. Scott has done a great job in designing this course and I highly recommend it to everyone here.”

“This is by far the best skillshare I've been to date. Scott was profesional, engaging, and creative in his teaching. I came away feeling like I had a much deeper understanding of the BizDev world. His past experience in both the startup and corporate world is great because he's able to speak to both sides. He keeps the classes small in order to encourage participation and feedback. Highly recommended for anyone interested in learning more about BD”
