Shape messaging for external communication, partner collaterals, and public platforms.
3. Community & Demand
Build and nurture communities across founder cohorts, partners, and ecosystem advisors.
Architect campaigns and initiatives that deepen connection and drive meaningful engagement.
Partner with events, forums, and digital spaces that matter to founders and operators.
4. Cross-Functional Collaboration
Work closely with investment, portfolio support, and operations teams to ensure consistency in narrative and positioning.
Support founders in telling their stories authentically and strategically.
