His events not only provide an opportunity for businesses to secure capital\, but also allow for local businesses to connect and grow. Additionally\, Scott takes pride in giving back to his community by promoting local businesses and contributing to their success. His commitment to both the financial growth of companies and the well-being of his community sets him apart from others in his field.” \n” Scott is a top-notch dealmaker\, always up to put his network to work.

The event was very well organized and executed with precision. There was a nice balance of VC firms and entrepreneurs looking for investment. On top of that\, the venue at the University of Tampa provided a perfect backdrop for Entrepreneurs to thrive. I left the event inspired by the cross section of ideas capital flowing in the room!
