Join Caitlin Roberson, Director of Enterprise Marketing at Lyft to Learn How to Pitch Investors, Grow Teams & ‘Best-Friend’ Your Customers
Entrepreneurs don’t start companies because it’s good for anxiety. They do it because they believe in something, often for powerful & deeply personal reasons. Their vision inspires the best talent to swap golden handcuffs for startups no one’s heard of & VCs to invest millions in single ideas.
Then, VCs say no.
Star performers leave.
Partners under-deliver.
Customers churn.
Such events often indicate entrepreneurs aren’t yet storytelling like the badasses they are.
This recording will help you distill & integrate your personal ‘why’ into company branding, messaging, and positioning—and practice a proven storytelling framework that inspires humans wired for purpose, in ways that scale with the company.
This recording will cover:
- How to distill your personal purpose into 3 core company values, mission/vision statements, and a tagline
- How to design an ‘umbrella narrative’ that reflects the above (often called category creation)
- How to teach your team to consistently share the same inspired story
