  1. I had to opportunity to watch Scott present @ StartupCamp Montreal and he is a great entrepreneur. Putting aside the unique challenges of his business, he presented his value proposition clearly & is a great example for other Canadian entrepreneurs looking to make their mark on the world.

    Great use of humor, storytelling, context & making the products message relevant to the audience. A great pitch.

    Great to see Canadian startups kicking proverbial ass on the conference stages of the world.

    Good job Scott.
