"I recently came across your site while browsing the internet. I have a 4 year old recruitment company and need to find an investor to expand. I signed up on your site last week and paid my subscription last Friday. Since then I have had contact from 3 very eager investors and am confident of securing the finance I need to expand and grow my business. I just wanted to thank your company as I find this to be a very professional and worthwhile site. I was reluctant to pay the €149 subscription to the site last week as I was worried that I may never hear from anyone but I was proved wrong and the site is working better than anticipated. Feel free to add this to any testimonial page you may have as it’s a fantastic concept and service you offer and it works."

The Startup America Partnership, the private sector alliance launched at the White House on January 31st to celebrate and accelerate entrepreneurship, announced the appointment of Timothy “Scott” Case as Chief Executive Officer.
“I’ve also experienced the challenges entrepreneurs face firsthand as they seek to build great companies. I’m delighted to lead the Startup America Partnership as I believe driving American entrepreneurship is critical to creating jobs and sustaining our nation's global leadership.”
“Whether starting and growing entrepreneurial companies like Priceline, or scaling critically important public-private partnerships like Malaria No More, Scott has demonstrated a unique ability to bring innovative ideas to life," said Steve Case , chairman of the Startup America Partnership. "I can think of no one better suited to lead the Startup America Partnership.”
Scott is currently CEO of Malaria No More (www.MalariaNoMore.org), a public-private partnership he helped start in 2006 to end malaria deaths in Africa by 2015, and will remain with the organization as a Vice Chair. After transitioning his duties, he will start full time as CEO of the Startup America Partnership on March 14.
“I’ve been an entrepreneur my entire life and have helped build hyper growth companies that transformed the lives of employees, customers, and clients.” said Scott Case. “I’ve also experienced the challenges entrepreneurs face firsthand as they seek to build great companies. I’m delighted to lead the Startup America Partnership as I believe driving American entrepreneurship is critical to creating jobs and sustaining our nation's global leadership."
Prior to Malaria No More, Scott was involved in several entrepreneurial startups, including Priceline, the "name your own price" company that was one of only a handful of startups in US history to reach a billion dollars in annual sales in less than 24 months. As co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, he was responsible for building the technology that enabled Priceline's hyper-growth. Previously, Scott helped build a portfolio of intellectual property at the Walker Digital Invention Laboratory, and is a named inventor on dozens of U.S. patents. Scott also co-founded Precision Training Software, a software company that developed the world's first PC-based simulated flight instructor and photo-realistic flight simulator.
Scott also serves as the Chairman of Network for Good (www.NetworkForGood.org), a national nonprofit that has distributed more than $475 million to 60,000 nonprofits and provides online fundraising and communications services to over 5,000 nonprofit organizations.
