narrative diagnostics

I work with founders and teams to turn complex ideas into clear, compelling narratives for pitches, positioning, and communication.

Across accelerators and early-stage teams, I’ve seen the same pattern: good ideas get lost in unclear stories. This diagnostic is designed to fix exactly that.
