Telling the story of your innovation program can be tricky. There are a few hundred options for founders to find support for their startup in New York City alone. How do you position your incubator or accelerator to stand out, get the reach necessary to show the success of the program in the media, and attract the most promising high-growth companies?
The NYC Innovation Collective is getting together a town hall to hear from two speakers about how they approach marketing their innovation program. Before the session, we'll workshop and aggregate accessible techniques and favorite marketing tools from everyone at the event to come away with tangible resources.
Your speakers include:
