Building Reputation & Visibility for Startups
Upstream of Sales, Marketing, and PR
with Dr. Vijay Shankar
Founders at the early stage juggle countless challenges - from hiring and MVP decisions to fundraising, IP, and customer retention.
But one crucial topic is often overlooked: visibility and reputation. ☝️
This hands-on workshop explores why strategic communication matters from day one and how strong visibility creates the foundation for sales, marketing, and growth.
Together, we’ll cover:
- How to approach early-stage communication effectively
- How to build a credible and authentic founder narrative
- How to choose the right channels based on your time, budget, and capacity
- Why visibility today means being both human-discoverable and machine-citeable
The session is highly interactive, including practical exercises, peer exchange, and an open Q&A. You’ll leave with a clear core narrative and practical next steps you can apply immediately. 🤠
