What is the power of words - and wordplay - in the company-building journey?
Join veteran tech reporter Alex Konrad (ex-Forbes, founder of Upstarts Media) and tech employee turned comedian Alexis Gay ('Unprofessional,' 'Non-Technical Pod,' 'Krazam Presents: Paradise’) for an interactive evening exploring how founders can weave more personality, humour, and some AI-proof humanity into their startup stories.
Alex and Alexis will lead a small group of builders through an onstage exercise where they'll evaluate and, with help from the audience, improve how they describe themselves and their businesses. Then, we'll open the floor to a wider discussion around brand-building, the founder journey, and when to 'show,' 'tell,' or say nothing at all.
Doors open at 17:00
Programming begins at 17:30
Drinks and snacks provided
