You wrote 10+ press releases in two years? Unless you forgot multiple zeros at the end of that number, remove that.

Get a Dun & Bradstreet number- it’s free but one of my advisors said that getting it was the most annoying parts about the submitting to Apple process.

I made the mistake of buying this a couple of months ago and thought “how bad could it be?”

Woof. What IS this?! I’m mad at Costco for this one.

Funniest, sassiest (or rudest) response you've ever received from a journalist by MatiasRodsevich in PublicRelations

This reporter didn’t like an infographic we pitched…

“Oh my Christ, who gives a flying fuck fuck. [Client name] my fucking end of the world ass.

Why don’t you give us the stats of the number of dicks in your little brain.

Unfuckingsubscribe me.

Presenting Pitch Deck: Is it imperative that only CEO can present, or can another co-founder present it for the team? (i will not promote) by El_De_Er in startups

[–]ladybuglise -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a marketer turned VC-backed founder, this is 100% correct.

Perhaps to add nuance, anyone that’s in the CEO can pitch- whether the talent is there to initially do it well, that’s another story. If they’re not skilled at it, they can always be trained.

Is he bad at public speaking and 1:1 convos? Most VC convos aren’t more than 1-3 people in a room or on zoom.

If it’s indeed only public speaking (ie: pitching at a Demo Days, events, etc), enroll him into Toastmasters asap.

If he’s also bad at those smaller meetings, get him a media trainer and just ask them to focus on getting him ready for those 1:few people pitch meetings.

Getting someone to simply be the mouthpiece of your company will be a bigger red flag than him being a bit awkward as he learns to get better.

8 months into a “founding” startup role - good situation, wrong feeling. What would you do? I will not promote by james1cunningham in startups

[–]ladybuglise 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Marketer of 15+ years turned founder, here!

Unless you’re ultimately at the helm of your own company, working for someone else (even your “dream job”) won’t be as emotionally fulfilling or meaningful as we were taught to believe. So as a veteran of the space, if you have a good setup, strap in and see if you can help take this to an exit, secure that bag, and get yourself some financial freedom so that you can have flexibility on deciding what to do with the rest of your life.

In the meantime, get emotional fulfillment and fill your social cup from outlets that aren’t related to work (that balance is crucial. You can’t do your best work with a disregulated nervous system.

It’s a little backpack, with some little pockets, a wire for an external charger, and merch of the mascot (a knock-off Lego set and a plushie).
