His events not only provide anopportunity for businesses to secure capital, but also allow for localbusinesses to connect and grow. Yesenia Legorreta Entrepreneur

I recently attended an event Scott Kelly sponsored called Tampa Bay VC FastPitch! The event was very well organized and executed with precision. Therewas a nice balance of VC firms and entrepreneurs looking for investment. Ileft the event inspired by the cross section of ideas capital flowing in the room! Great job, Scott!
