​Marketing Essentials for 0-1 Founders

​Most Founders start their journey with a pitch deck, a prototype, and a lot of pressure to grow but little clarity on how to gain customers, validate their messaging, or build traction that impresses VCs.

​We’re teaching you how to fill that gap.

​In this expert session from York Effect — in partnership with Startup Grind — we’ll break down what most miss: the real-world marketing insights every startup needs to attract their ideal customer, avoid wasted spend, and stand out in a crowded, noisy market.

​This event is perfect for:

  • ​Early-stage startup founders (Pre-Seed through Series A)
  • ​Teams in accelerators, venture fellowships, or university entrepreneurship programs
  • ​Anyone looking to build a smarter go-to-market strategy and increase investor confidence

​You will learn:

  • ​How to talk about your product so VCs and customers actually get it
  • ​How to turn your story into something investors believe and customers buy
  • ​Why your language matters and how to tailor it for each audience without losing your message

​Walk away with the tactical understanding needed to attract users, generate revenue, and satisfy investor expectations  instead of relying on trial-and-error or burning through capital

​This event is a part of #NYTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
