Following his tenure there, he founded Integrity Partners LLC, a boutique VC fund investing in numerous technology companies, and served on its portfolio companies’ boards of directors. In the early 2000s, Scott expanded his experience to include film and music publishing, med-tech nanotechnology, oil and gas exploration and commercial real estate. Around that time, he co-led the seed investment in China's dominant search engine, Baidu, where he served as a director until its historic IPO in August 2005. In 2006, he formed the W Charitable Foundation with his wife and four children.
