"Thank you for meeting with my business policy class. Your presentation was very well received by both the
graduate and undergraduate sections. Your comprehensive handouts are perfect for the presentation, allowing the audience to
focus on the discussion rather than taking extensive notes. Stepping back to view all of the issues in creating a company and
securing financing is a powerful lesson. Thanks for your stimulating presentation, the students will view the remaining cases
in a more sophisticated light."

"Thank you for your informative presentation on successfully seeking venture funds. Your experience with the
subject, the contacts you have, and the significant knowledge base in general were well demonstrated as you described the
venture capital market and what VCs are looking for. Possibly the most significant test of how well the talk was received
was when I suggested, 5 minutes after the class was officially over, that if anyone wanted to go that was fine. No one even
shuffled or shifted. I appreciate your willingness to stay over an hour later than anticipated answering questions.
Thanks again Rob. The feedback was unanimously positive."
