“David graciously agreed to be a Guest Speaker for the Atlanta chapter of Startup Grind, the largest global entrepreneur community. I organized/hosted the event as Chapter Director for Startup Grind Atlanta. He offered fantastic insights into the reasons why many Startups fail and offered his 3 step methodology to validate a business opportunity. His insights were well received by our founder community and his energy and passion for helping entrepreneurs succeed was evident. I would highly recommend David as a speaker at any event focused on helping startups succeed.”
