Early-stage startups need funding to get to market, but most founders lose the pitch the moment they open their mouth. The likely problem isn’t your idea, your product or your pitch deck. It's that you fall into the trap of thinking that your origin story is your brand story - and it’s not. This means your brand ends up a reflection of you instead of something your customers are attracted to. Every product, person and place has a brand and as a business owner it’s your duty to take actions that positively influence how people view yours.
