Back in March, we launched our Virtual Coffee Mornings series to keep conversations running throughout the South West digital and tech community over lockdown. Experienced leaders and founders from Bristol, Bath and beyond came together online to discuss the future of tech, as well as to offer advice for business development and resilience during a crisis. In case you missed the live events, we’ll be sharing stories and insights from our wonderful guest speakers over the course of the next few weeks.
For coffee morning 15, we discussed how to raise your profile as an investable leader.
Many businesses are closely associated with their founders and if you’re trying to grow or raise investment how that founder is perceived can have a real impact. In this coffee morning, Alex will take founders through tips on how to raise their own profile through PR / marketing / social media specifically to drive interest in them.
