Testimonials
We fully understand the need to conduct a thorough due diligence prior to engaging in any professional relationship, as due diligence is part of our own filtration process.
Due to the mandates of federal and state(s) securities laws regarding compliance of our portfolio companies to qualify for FEDERAL AND STATE EXEMPTIONS FROM SECURITIES REGISTRATION, we are PROHIBITED from identifying our portfolio companies, so as not to violate those exemptions from securities registration.
However, from time-to-time our portfolio companies, as well as our Partners, will send us un-solicited testimonials about their successes and appreciation they have for our process, which we are allowed to post here to assist you in your due diligence efforts.
Prior to 2021, we never advertised our “Wall St. to Main St.” capital raising process. 100% of our portfolio companies came through a highly selective referral network, by invitation only. Since then, we’ve opened the door for anyone who has what it takes to go the distance.

Through a step by step process the entrepreneur can now look at the many options available to raise capital and scale their business. The [FAS Course] is a must read for serious entrepreneurs who want to grow.” Leonard Gingerella, Clinical Professor, Entrepreneurial Studies Loyola University-Chicago

We intend to make it required reading for our inventors and contract executives here at the Center.” David Falter, Executive Director Robert R.

What attorneys and CPAs are saying...
“We are very impressed with this program ([FAS Course] [Included within the Corporate Engineering Conservatory™]).” Norman Poplowitz: Devine, Blalock, Martin & Sellari CPAs, West Palm Beach, FL
“Things are coming along nicely. I prepared the PPM, but instead of approaching investors, I approached prospective ‘members’ basically franchising my company. The initial membership provided the funding I needed to expand, and now if I ever need more funding, I have a base of people, (my members) to go to if they want to earn a share of their investment, kind of like an employee stock option, but these people are not employees. So thanks again for your phenomenal Financial Architect™ [Included within the Corporate Engineering Conservatory™] program.” Sharon Claar, CPA Managing Partner JTB Associates, LLC

"Get closer than ever to your customers. So close, in fact, that you tell them what they need well before they realize it themselves."
