Don't take our word for it, hear it from the BD Pros

Excellent

Asha Recino

I recently completed the BD Program at The BD School, and it was undeniably a great learning experience. Lucia’s infectious energy made the entire course engaging and enjoyable and the course's tailored approach to my needs and challenges helped me gain valuable and actionable insights. Definitely expanded my perspective on what BD is all about! Thank you, Lucia. Highly recommended for anyone looking to develop or refine their business development skills!

Nathaly Tapia

Best teacher ever! If you are excited about your business idea and you want to make it come true (without failing in the try) this is the right place to start. I love that Lucia is passionate about your company as if it was hers, so she will give you the best tips and advice that many books don't have. Their culture is to learn and try in real life which is very exciting and convenient since I have saved a lot of money by avoiding common mistakes when opening my first company. Surely the value you pay is 10 times worth it. Thanks to the BD school my team and I won the Phillips contest which gave us a start funding amount of money to continue with our company.

Baptiste Morch

It was interactive, interesting and it provided me a lot of motivation and confidence to continue growing as a BD manager.
