Most startups don't fail because the idea is wrong. They fail because nobody understood the story well enough to fund it, join it, or buy from it.
Storytelling is not a nice-to-have. It is the operating system founders use to move capital, talent and belief through their company. My work sharpens that system — so a great business is actually recognised as one.
A repeatable path from founder story to funded round.
A five-step methodology I use with founders, accelerators and portfolio companies to move from unclear to unforgettable.
