About this Event
OVERVIEW:
Most startups believe they’re ready to launch—but critical gaps in messaging, systems, and go-to-market strategy often go unnoticed until it’s too late. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll complete a guided readiness checklist, identify launch-blocking gaps and begin building your company playbook in real time. By the end, you’ll know exactly what’s missing, what’s working and your next steps to confidently move toward market entry.
YOUR FACILITATOR:
Teresa DeJohn is a B2B marketing consultant and fractional CMO who helps early-stage and technical startups go to market with clarity and credibility. She specializes in uncovering blind spots in messaging, positioning and PR that can stall growth before it starts. Teresa works closely with founders who lack internal marketing teams, helping them build strong foundations that drive awareness, traction and investor confidence.
