Fancy some take-aways from my CogX Festival masterclass last week to go with your coffee? (Minus a few potty-mouth-words that 'might' have slipped out of my face on the day out of sheer excitement). Keep reading if you’re a #techstartup on the road to funding, and want to find out how to leverage PR to attract investors ⬇ First up, a massive thank you to all the #founders and #entrepreneurs who made it on the day. Blown away by your energy and engagement throughout. What a privilege to share space and time with you: our innovators, discoverers, and leaders of tomorrow, who bring limitless possibilities to our world. Too many tips to choose from, but here’s my top 7 from the session:- 🔨 Nail your story: from your origin right through to your future vision, craft a compelling narrative. Authenticity wins the day. 📊 Add a human dimension to your data to demonstrate impact: if you can get investors emotionally engaged, they're more likely to back you through the good, the bad and the ugly. 🎯 Know your audience: an effective PR strategy that supports your investment goals should be targeted, not splatter-gunned across the media-scape 📢 Build your bench of spokespeople: PR can demonstrate your expertise and the impact you’re making on the world. 🗞 Share your coverage (I believe I actually said to share the living sh*t out of it): getting published in reputable publications elevates your credibility, and can set you up as a voice of authority and safe pair of hands. 🏇 PR should never be a one-night stand – when your funding closes, don’t drop it. You’ll lose momentum, you’ll be buried by competitors, and when you want to dial back up, you’ll have to start all over again. It should be an ongoing, strategic relationship that says to investors ‘I’m serious. I’m committed. I’m the one to back.’ 💰 There’s more to PR than top tier media – never underestimate the power of your target trade, tech and business press. ➡ Plenty more tips this way: https://lnkd.in/eUPSKXtG Want a chat to find out more?

In my almost ten years of designing pitch decks and advising entrepreneurs, I've noticed that they all struggle with the same thing: over-communication. To me its a turnoff if your deck is written like a Rhodes scholar. That may work well for a medical journal, but not for a pitch deck. If you can't clearly communicate to an investor, how can you communicate to your consumer? So before you hit send, get some feedback from a few friends outside your field. And make sure they are friends who will be brutally honest and not just tell you what you want to hear. -- Or you can join the faith-based incubator I just signed on to run through CanaGlobal Network LLC! Launches Feb 7. Everything is easier when you aren't pioneering alone. https://lnkd.in/esJpEXpr

My top tips for fast-growing companies are to get external funding for research and development, and immediately think international. In the study ‘A Decade of Growth: Belgium’s Fastest-Growing Tech Scale-ups’ you can explore more guidance and gain valuable insights into the growth journey of scale-ups, for investors and fast-growing companies alike. Enjoy the read! François Moonen, CEO and founder of Elysia. https://lnkd.in/e_b9H2vm
