Everyone says distribution matters more than product.
But most founders became founders because they love building, not posting. So distribution gets dreaded, put off, and left hoping it'll sort itself out. It won't.
Or maybe you've started, and hit a wall, or you've run out of ideas, burnt out posting into the void, or struggled to stay consistent with no one holding you accountable.
It's hard to do alone. So let's do it together.
What is Building Together?
A 3-hour session where founders sit down and work on distribution side by side.
-
New to content? Leave with a clear content strategy, a channel to focus on, and your first week of content ideas.
-
Already posting? Get your profile reviewed and improved, and leave with at least a week of content planned.
Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn or elsewhere: we'll work with whichever channel fits your business goals.
How the session runs

Share (30 min)What content strategies people are using these days, a rundown of content formats and distribution channels, and how to choose what fits your business. Drawn from creators like Emonee and Dan Koe, and from my own experience growing a product through organic social.

Why I'm hosting thisHi, I'm Lucian Grey. I grew my last product to a 2,000+ waitlist and a sold-out pre-sale using only organic social. Now I'm building a B2C business again from the ground up, and I've learned that building alone is hard. It's hard to stay accountable, and hard to know if your ideas are any good without someone to bounce them off. So I'm starting the room I wish I had.
