Speaking

Founders often lack a way to practice their pitch among peers to improve their communication.

Speaking is dedicated to helping founders audit branding live and align to signal their position.

Speaking online

These interactive sessions are tailor-fit for remote accelerators, distributed investor portfolios, and remote/distributed teams to brand while apart.

Isolated founders often consume content while buried in daily tasks, which fragments positioning.

Sessions guide founders to examine their positioning live and realign it fast with peer input.

What you receive:

  • 30- or 60-min online session (live or licensed);

  • Created for interaction: visuals, polls, Q&A;

  • Briefing and summary documents.

Speaking onstage

These interactive sessions are tailor-fit for accelerators' "kickoff" or "demo day" weeks, team off-sites, and all-hands on-sites to brand together.

Without a shared readiness to communicate the brand, pitch misalignment becomes rampant.

Sessions unite teams around a category-led mindset while learning to signal it in their role.

  • Created for interaction: handouts, polls, Q&A;
