POV: It's the second night of the week and the second night shift of the week. The perks of founder mode: Shipping two new features before Wednesday's business day even begins. 🏆😌 Wouldn't trade it for 9-5 #foundermode #startuplife #buildmode

Another Friday, another great conversation re-cap with another Colorado startup—this time with Brandon Aaron Highr1 - Recruiting Navy Nukes—Samantha Derosier And I continue to dig deep into the nuances of brand storytelling as an extension of Denver Startup Week. In our time with Brandon, here’s the insight that hit hardest: great storytelling isn’t just about what you say—it’s also about what you don’t. This session reminded us that sharpening the focus creates a more powerful connection. We're hoping it inspires your next story. #BrandBuilding #Storytelling #Highr1 #StartupStories

Officially moving on from my Agency and starting off with a new business. I had a lot of fun scaling WeLaunch. Welaunch scaled over 50 businesses from 0-1. This included YC backed, Sequoia backed and so many more businesses across the globe. I am up for acquisition if someone wants an agency with amazing logos and great processes. But, life is a game. I had to become the best founder and that is the reason I worked with over 50 founders in 2 years. Learned a lot. And, now I know what kind of a founder I am. I am an intense guy, I internalise and I have now internalised and I know what I am made of and what will make me successful. Welaunch grew by 30% month on month for the last 2 years and we grew from a team of me alone to 30 people. But, you can only have a few things on your plate. Moving on for the good. Moving on for the best. New business and branding coming in soon. #best #business #sales #marketing #agency #grow

120+ founders and operators. One ancient redwood forest. Reach Capital’s 10th Founders' Day. I’m sharing a ✨ special piece ✨ I wrote about Founders’ Day, a landmark event that manifests all the best elements of the Reach community, and a place for founders and friends to relax, reflect, and refresh. A reminder that the startup journey may not be glamorous, but it is powerful, especially in company. https://lnkd.in/eij7zQVM

What fills your cup? For me, it's talking to people with ideas for a small businesses and helping them find a strategy to make that business a reality. Once a month, I am truly blessed to mentor at the Geekdom Startup Bootcamp. Over 3 days, founders come together to learn from amazing mentors and are guided through the beginning steps of starting a business or finetuning the idea they already have. Just curious - how do you give back?

Doing something a little different today. Ever wondered *how* we do what we do at Startup Hypeman? I'm pulling back the curtain and offering a live behind-the-scenes look at our GTM Pitch Kit process (partial screenshot below). We get our clients fundraise and GTM-ready through a very specific set of steps that goes far beyond just 'reviewing a pitch deck' (real talk, the deck is important but it's most certainly not the only thing to put energy towards). I'm showing each step, how we do it, the nuance behind it, and giving examples from different clients. That means you'll see me share real pitches in real-time. As a bonus, our 2x client Carson Goodale (FanFood and Brightn) will join me and offer his own raw commentary on the process, what works, and what he'd do differently knowing what he knows now. If you're thinking about a fundraise or refining your GTM motion this year, you'll want to be on this. We go live at 12pm CT and it is NOT recorded.
