WHEN DO
STARTUPS NEED
STORYTELLING
At an early stage,
Storytelling helps you visualize
-  who your core user is and what
drives him/her
-  what your mission is and why is
it so important for you
-  what is unique about you and
what you want people to see in
you
-  cc
At an early stage,
Storytelling therefore helps you to
-  be aligned with your
cofounder(s)
-  be clearer with your early
partners
-  be more assertive when
imagining your name, logo or
landing page
-  hone your first pitch
At a later stage,
Storytelling helps you to
-  customize your story for
various users
-  reinforce your brand image
with a consistent story across
all your actions
-  build a stronger company
culture to align a growing
team
In short,
STORYTELLING BEGINS
