We’re always curating what to keep in and what to leave out. Storytelling is the same. Two versions of the same story can both be true. For most companies, there’s many different ways to tell the story, to emphasize the key skills and growth needed for that conversation. This session is about learning how to hold the full complexity of your company while presenting the right facet in the right moment.
We’ll dive into storytelling not as a performance, but as an act of strategic alignment. How do you talk about the same business to a hype-driven VC, a cautious grant committee, and a curious early hire—without losing the thread?
