About this Event
It's harder than it looks to clearly describe your new business and to make it compelling to your audience. But a strong framework to guide your thinking and a bit of focus will make all the difference!
In this day-long workshop, emerging founders will really dig into competition, customers, and unique value in order to clearly describe what their business does (or will do) and why it's so cool.
Julie Kucinski and Connie Rutledge, who collectively have worked with dozens of entrepreneurs, will guide you through frameworks that can help you unlock the clarity you've been craving. This hands-on session will give you the opportunity to work with experts and peers to refine how you think about your value to customers, how you explain your business, and what you need to do next.
Julie Kucinski is a founder, startup investor, award-winning brand strategist, consultant and story whisperer. For years, she has helped FINN Fellows hone their story and create compelling business pitches.
Connie Rutledge has led the Fellowship Program since its inception and has over 25 years of working with entrepreneurs and start-ups, from financing to strategy to weathering the emotional roller coaster.
