Armed with TechSpeak information I can now play offense rather than defense. I now know how to hire the right people, ask the right questions and get the technology development and deployment process right from the start.
John Oelze
Co-Founder of Invenire.org
TechSpeak was invaluable and would save any entrepreneur time and money! Few things in life can offer that much in such a short period of time. I spent a lot more time and money on/in college and came out with a lot less than I did from ONE day of class with Nelly!
Liz Kressel
Founder of Collectors Quest
TechSpeak had my mind reeling from day 1 - not just of costly mistakes that could have been avoided but of how I could improve things in my company immediately."
Josef Ruef
CEO of Verical.com Mentor at Founder Institute
Had I known the information I learned at TechSpeak before, I wouldn't just have a good exit, I would have had a GREAT exit and it would have happened a lot sooner!
Mai Ling Chan

This is a fantastic resource for tech entrepreneurs at ANY stage of development. Unexpected, revolutionary and empowering system to truly take control of the development process and ultimately save valuable time and money
Ben Vides
VP, Strategy Development at Acceller
I have a strong background in software & product development, but I still learned an enormous amount. Even if you are technical and work at a big company, you'll learn tons of practical & innovative concepts that you can put to use immediately in your organization.
