Testimonials

We have been fortunate to receive strong testimonials from our clients. We also consistently receive rave reviews from our conference presentations.

David is well researched and eloquently presents frameworks and best practices for helping professionals embrace new media. His presentation makes it easy to adopt technology that we expect to improve our business. As well, David gives a unique perspective on sourcing investment opportunities and the pros/cons of different models (old and new). Our session with David was definitely time well spent.

Andrew Saltoun, Managing Partner - Duane Street Capital

We heard great reports from attendees about David’s keynote at ACG Intergrowth 2009 on 'How to Originate Deals, Win Clients and Raise Capital with Web 2.0 Technologies'. 56% of the audience rated his presentation as 'Very valuable' or 'valuable'. InterGrowth is the world’s largest dealmakers conference, attracting more than 2,000 middle-market merger & acquisition professionals. David was an excellent addition for the event, based on his unique combination of expertise in investment banking, investment research, and Internet technologies.

Finding top talent quickly and efficiently is a high priority for us. We’ve been pleased with the way Teten and Accolo combine their talents to save us time and money to hire the best people. Their solution has worked well for several of our companies.

- Jon Weber, formerly President of American Real Estate Partners (now Icahn Enterprises L.P. (NYSE: IEP))

David was a member of the faculty for the inaugural New York program of Founder Institute, a platform for serial entrepreneurs to train other entrepreneurs. For the evening when he spoke, David was the most highly rated speaker by a large margin. The audience really liked David’s specific practical, actionable advice, delivered with humor and brevity. He has one of the highest signal to noise ratios of any speaker I’ve seen; every slide had a new idea our students could use.

- Craig Kanarick, Founder Institute Local Facilitator and co-founder/former Chief Strategic Office, Razorfish

I wanted to thank you and congratulate you on the two outstanding presentations you made at the Alliance of Merger & Acquisition Advisors Winter Conference in Orlando. You were the highest-rated speaker on the combined ratings of knowledge base and presentation. We have had an enormous amount of extremely positive feedback. Needless to say you were a huge hit and one of the conference highlights. Your professionalism, personal involvement and overall support are very much appreciated.

- Michael Nall, Founder, Alliance of Merger & Acquisition Advisors

David Teten did an outstanding job for Thomson Reuters as lead speaker for an online seminar for private equity professionals this summer. David went the extra mile at every turn—helping us recruit additional speakers, spread the word to potential attendees, and ensure everything went smoothly during the actual event. Then there was the presentation itself, and you’d be hard-pressed to find anymore more articulate, engaging and determined to provide tailored, valuable ideas and insights. Most delegates who filled out a satisfaction survey found the program either valuable or extremely valuable.
