/ About this event

Your product isn't the only thing investors, customers, and top hires are sizing up — they're sizing up you. Most early-stage founders treat personal branding as a someday project instead of a growth lever. This session closes that gap.

Join Winning VS for an evening built for founders ready to get tactical about turning their journey into a story people remember, follow, and back. We'll cover:

1) Finding your narrative — the three stories every founder needs to tell (why you, why now, why this) 2) Turning traction into content without it reading like a highlight reel 3) Showing up on LinkedIn/X/IG without losing hours you don't have 4) What VCs and top talent actually notice about a founder's public presence before they ever take a meeting

Come with your current story. Leave with a plan to tell it better.

Hosted by Winning VS, a founder-led media studio helping founders build brands as sharp as their businesses.

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