Boulder StartUp Week is coming up in May. It's a fantastic week of networking and resources for entrepreneurs, and I'm thrilled to be presenting a session called TELL YOUR FOUNDER STORY. ?? ?? ?? You know you need to tell a better story, and that your story will set you apart from the mob, but most entrepreneurs don't know what a good story is, how to tell it with unshakable confidence, or how to make it 100% relevant to your audience – so they buy from you, tell their friends about you and stick around for the long haul. In this session, I'll show you how nailing down the story of how you got where you are today has the power to build loyal followings, raise revenue and change the world. You'll learn:? ?? How to boil your big mess of a story down to its compelling essence? ?? Why telling the *right* story is absolutely essential if you want to get the funding and effectively convey your why ?? Why the stories you think are great stories might be derailing your mission and costing you money Tuesday May 14, 9-10am at WeWork in Boulder. Register for this session and check out the rest of the schedule at this link: https://lnkd.in/gyJvAKmG See you there! ~~~ Know someone in Boulder who would benefit from this talk? Tag them in the comments! #boulderstartupweek #publicspeaking #storytelling #founder

Founders/Startups/Entrepreneurs Here is a MUST-DO task for today: Go through your phone contacts and send a text to 100 people that says: I'm growing my LinkedIn, sharing insights into what the journey is like. Would love to have you follow. Add your profile link. People are protective of their numbers. You have their number for a reason. You're not a stranger. Don't overthink or complicate. Just send the d*mn text. And whether they follow you on LinkedIn or not, you just started 100 conversations about your business... Happy Thursday! #organicmarketing #networking #communitybuilding

We brought together founders from diverse industries and gave them a unique challenge – to pitch each other’s brands. Paired up, each founder had just 10 minutes to dive into their partner's business, get a grip on its strengths, and prepare a pitch that would resonate. This exercise pushed everyone out of their comfort zones, sparked fresh ideas, and inspired new ways of thinking about brand identity and storytelling. It was amazing to see how quickly connections formed and insights were shared. Everyone left with new perspectives – not only on their partner's brand but on how to communicate the value of their own. Looking forward to seeing where these connections lead. Thank you to everyone who came and put their best foot forward. Here’s to building a community where collaboration drives success. #UnhuFounders #DehradunStartups #PitchChallenge #FounderCommunity #Entrepreneurship

Success is not just about what you know, but who you know. As entrepreneurs, we often get lost in the hustle and grind of building our startup. But let's not forget the power of networking. It is the key to unlocking doors and opportunities that can take our business to the next level. I have personally experienced the incredible impact of networking on my startup. From finding investors to collaborating with other businesses, building strong connections has been crucial to our growth. So let's make a conscious effort to expand our network and surround ourselves with like-minded individuals who can offer valuable insights and support. Attend events, join online communities, and don't be afraid to reach out to someone you admire. Remember, the worst they can say is no, but the best could be a game-changing partnership.

Growing up in a family of entrepreneurs (shout out to my dad, Bob Rabideau), the path to founding my own business felt like destiny. However, my journey from OraMetrix, Inc. an orthodontic startup to collaborating with cutting-edge tech companies taught me invaluable lessons about entrepreneurship. If you're an innovator, disruptor, founder, or entrepreneur, these tips are for you—four things I've learned about starting a business. 1?? Multifaceted Roles: Forget just being the boss - you'll be an investor liaison, client handler, networker, and much more. Embrace the dynamism of wearing many hats. 2?? The Power of Branding: A strong brand is crucial. A shift in strategy without robust brand alignment can be detrimental. Effective research and marketing are key. 3?? Value of a Trusted Team: Cultivate a circle of honest advisors. Their objective feedback is invaluable for navigating both highs and lows. 4?? Balance is Key: Don’t forget to live outside of work. Balancing entrepreneurial passion with personal time is essential for long-term success. Have an entrepreneurial lesson or tip?
