Details


So many Founders are heads down, focused on their product.  Yes, important.  But far too late do they leave the Marketing and PR.  Growing your business requires YOU to become a Marketing and PR guru in your own right.  Learn the basics, the must-have tricks as well as the Best Practices from those who have done it for their own company as well as from professionals doing it for a living for hundreds of companies.


Our discussions are more hands on and focused on solving audience problems pertaining to startups and helping each of the audience members solve a current PR / Marketing Problem.  


If you have a business that you want as the focal point of the discussion, email Jason@StrtupBoost.com.  Learn from specific answers to your own problems as well as deep dives into the featured startups


Light snacks and refreshments will be served.
