“Even the greatest idea isn’t worth anything until it’s validated and executed and it’s very difficult
to get someone else to do that for you. If you really believe in your idea, you need to invest in it
yourself, and do it yourself. That’s the only way to guarantee your idea will ever see the light of day.”

Dr. David Kirschman
President and CEO
