Recommendations from past events:
February 7, 2023 – I had the pleasure of attending a VC Fast Pitch Event in St. Petersburg and what an incredible event it was! Scott does a phenomenal job of bringing together high-caliber investors, sponsors, and companies to share an incredible amount of business knowledge, leadership, and resources. I’m looking forward to the next event and many more to come! Thanks, Scott!! Matt Deaton, EMBA Chief Growth Officer at Devsu
February 7, 2023 – I would highly recommend Scott Kelly as an exceptional individual in the venture capital industry. He goes the extra mile by organizing events to help bring together entrepreneurs and investors. 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. Yesenia Legorreta Entrepreneur
February 6, 2023 – Scott is a top-notch dealmaker, always up to put his network to work. From Blackdog’s expert consulting to the whirlwind of VC Fast Pitch, Scott’s business advice and events are a welcome addition to the Central Florida tech scene. Adam Ben-Evi Cofounder & CEO at Spot
October 24, 2022 – I recently attended an event Scott Kelly sponsored called Tampa Bay VC Fast Pitch! 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! Great job, Scott! Sokoni Scott, Lincoln James Capital
