It has been an absolute pleasure collaborating with Steve as he worked with IREX to launch programming for four Iraqi university entrepreneurship centers. Steve trained 20 faculty and staff over the course of a year, drawing from his practical experience to provide hands-on sessions, relevant curriculum, and templates for each university team to adapt and use with students and community members.
Our training participants appreciated and benefited from his personalized approach, insight, vast knowledge bank, patience, and humor throughout the project.
I highly recommend working with him!

Steve Hayton has been a valued resource for our team at Purdue Innovates for the past 2 years.
As we’ve reimagined programs, realigned technologies, platforms, and tools related to the early-startup programming provided to Purdue student, faculty, and alumni entrepreneurs, Steve has been gracious with his time and offered support, guidance, and connections where appropriate.
If you are a college or university seeking an organized, hard-working, and compassionate guide/teacher/mentor for your entrepreneurship programs, I’d highly recommend Steve!
