From Idea to Impact - Your 90-Minute B2C Marketing Blueprint

Share this event

Most early-stage startups struggle with marketing because they lack a systematic approach to channel selection and customer acquisition. This fast-paced, interactive workshop is designed specifically for health tech and climate tech startups seeking to build marketing plans that actually generate traction and convert customers.

 

In just 90 minutes, you'll move from marketing confusion to marketing clarity using proven frameworks that successful startups have used to scale. Led by Ty Beckmann, who brings 20 years of go-to-market experience from Apple plus expertise helping startups accelerate pipeline and close deals, this workshop delivers immediate, actionable results.

 

This is not theoretical marketing—it's practical, implementation-focused work that addresses the real challenges early-stage hardtech companies face when trying to reach and convert B2C customers. You'll leave with concrete tools, templates, and a clear action path for attracting and converting your initial customers.

 

Who Should Attend:

  • Founders struggling to prioritize marketing channels effectively
  • Early-stage companies seeking systematic customer acquisition approaches
  • Entrepreneurs who want practical marketing tools, not theoretical concepts
  • Startups ready to move from planning to implementation
  • Teams seeking collaborative planning and peer feedback

This workshop is perfect for founders who are tired of marketing advice that doesn't translate into real results and want to build a systematic approach to customer acquisition.
