I hope you will take another look at the great line up of speakers, coaches, and mentors that will be teaching you how to use the power of story when talking about your businesses, products, and services.

So, What’s YOUR Story? workshop – Open for registration

Written by Nathan Gold on January 1st, 2012

Are you an entrepreneur, a CEO, or a marketer searching for a better and more effective way to communicate the value of your business, product, or service? If yes, So What’s YOUR Story? is THE workshop to attend.

This workshop is bringing five incredible speakers together… an Emmy Award-winning TV producer, a professional writer and director, a well-known angel investor, a visual storytelling instructor, and a Silicon Valley pitch coach…. to teach you how to use the power of story in your business.




Imagine being able to get your compelling, memorable, and relevant stories into the minds of your investors and customers so they are compelled to take action?

There’s one more really exciting innovative take-away you will get from this workshop. Each of you will get “YOUR 15-Minutes of Fame” by sitting down with one of the presenters (or qualified mentor) privately, one-on-one, to talk about your story ideas that you developed during the workshop. Your private conversation can be recorded for you to share with your team back home. This is a very unique opportunity that is included in the price of admission. Every person that attends will get their 15-Minutes of Fame.


So, What’s YOUR Story? is being sponsored by Citrix Startup Accelerator, VentureBeat.com, IBM SmartCamp, and SVForum.org.

In the search to find tomorrow’s job creators, Startup Open, a competition that searches for startups with the greatest growth potential, unveiled the “GEW 50.” The GEW 50 is a list of the world’s 50 most innovative new companies. These elite startups will now vie for a host of prizes to be announced on Nov. 14, timed with the kick-off to Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) 2011. GEW is a global celebration of innovative and enterprising activity that was founded by the Kauffman Foundation.

Hundreds of applications from more than 60 countries were judged on concept, growth projections and knowledge of their industry.

“These 50 companies represent the best and brightest of today’s entrepreneurs–and they hold the key to spurring economic revival and sustained growth,” said Carl Schramm, president and CEO of the Kauffman Foundation. “We hope that recognizing these promising startups will inspire other aspiring entrepreneurs to take chances and start new ventures.”
