/ About this event

Building products has never been easier. Finding customers—and building repeatable growth—is still the hard part.

Join this free, interactive, 60-minute Zoom workshop for founders and startup growth leaders with something live and a real growth challenge. Bring your website, product, and hardest question. We'll select a few companies for live teardowns and diagnose:

• Positioning, messaging, and offer clarity • The story, trust signals, and proof that make buyers act • Website and funnel conversion • Customer acquisition, distribution, and findability • The highest-leverage growth move to make next

The examples will be especially relevant to LA's mix of consumer, media, creator, marketplace, and B2B companies—but the workshop is open to founders building in any category.

This is not a lecture or a generic list of growth hacks. A few companies will receive direct feedback; everyone will leave with practical patterns and three clear priorities they can apply immediately.

Juliet may appear briefly as a supporting growth snapshot or demo; the focus stays on the participating founders.

Hosted by Samir Patel, a growth and marketing operator with 20+ years of experience. He founded SearchForce (acquired by Epsilon), has been involved in three exits, holds a Cornell MBA with a Brand Marketing focus, has advised founders through 500 Global for 10+ years, and has managed or advised on $1B+ in growth marketing spend. He is now building Juliet. Samir is also a Growth Mentor at 500 Global and a Mentor at Startup Grind, a global startup community spanning 120 countries.

This event is a part of #LATechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com. Connect with Samir here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/growthmaster/
