    School of Engineering alum Scott Case takes you through his UConn startup experience of meeting his wife, turning an idea into a global brand and company, and many of the lessons he learned along the way.

    Timothy “Scott” Case is a technologist, entrepreneur and inventor and was founding CTO of priceline.com, the "Name Your Own Price" Internet service. At the Walker Digital Invention Laboratory, he helped build a portfolio of intellectual property, and is a named inventor on dozens of U.S. patents including the underlying portfolio for priceline.com.

    In November 2015, Scott rejoined Jay Walker to turn the way we buy business travel upside down at Upside.

    In March 2011, Scott became founding CEO of the Startup America Partnership (TechStars) focused on building strong startup communities throughout the United States. In 2013, he co-founded Main Street Genome (acquired by Dining Alliance) to leverage data to make small businesses everywhere work smarter through data science and software technology tools.

    In 2006, Scott joined the Malaria No More team (www.MalariaNoMore.org) to inspire individuals and institutions to end deaths caused by malaria. He also serves as the Chairman of Network for Good (www.NetworkForGood.org), a national nonprofit that has distributed more than $1.4 billion to 100,000 nonprofits.
