CONFERENCE SPEAKING
BY STARTUP EXPERT AUTHOR INVESTOR SCOTT FOX

As a popular startup ecosystem speaker and active startup investor, I'm passionate about helping more people succeed in the startup world! How can I help make your event a success? 

SPEAKING SERVICES:

If you have an audience interested in startup innovation, venture capital fundraising, entrepreneurship, angel investing, or startup ecosystem growth strategies, I'm happy to share my passion and years of expertise in person or online.  

I often speak at conventions, private corporate events, conferences, off-sites, and even college classes and civic functions worldwide as a:

• Keynote Speaker

• Fireside Chat expert interview guest

• Panelist for discussions

• Panel Organizer and/or Panel Moderator

• Networking and Ice Breaker “MasterMinds” Workshop Host

• Radio/Podcast Interview Guest

• Master of Ceremonies: I often “emcee” entire events, hosting the whole program, moderating panels and audience questions, and interviewing other speakers on stage in addition to my own talks.

  Please contact us here to discuss how we can help create an informative, fun, and inspiring session together for your next conference, meeting, or event.

If you are located somewhere interesting, or where I’ve not visited before, I may travel to speak in person FREE just for travel/hotel expenses.
