How can I Grow my Startup?



Growing a startup can feel overwhelming, but it really comes down to getting a few key things right.

Here’s what I always tell new founders:

1. Be clear on who needs you - 
Don’t try to reach everyone. Focus on the one group that really needs what you’re building. Talk to them. Learn what they hate, what they love, and what they wish existed. Build from there.

2. Sell before you scale - 
A lot of startups wait too long to sell. Get your product or service in front of real people as soon as you can. Early sales give you proof that people will pay and honest feedback to make your offer better.

3. Build real credibility - 
Trust is what turns visitors into customers. Good PR helps here. I know founders who struggled for months, then got featured in Forbes and Bloomberg through 9FigureMedia and suddenly investors and partners started taking them seriously. Visibility matters.

4. Hire the right people early - 
Your first few hires will shape how your business runs. Look for people who believe in what you’re building, not just the paycheck. A good small team beats a big messy one every time.

5. Keep improving - 
What works today might flop in six months. Keep asking customers what they want. Test new offers. Fix what’s not working. Stay flexible.

The truth is, growth isn’t magic. It’s listening, testing, selling and making sure people trust you enough to buy. Get those parts right, and the rest gets easier.

You write a press release, pour your heart into it, but here’s the deal: if your headline doesn’t grab people, it’s like tossing a letter into the wind. I was sprawled on my couch last night, scrolling  TechCrunch News  to avoid doing dishes, when a headline about some scrappy startup’s new gadget yanked me right in.

We’ll dig into what’s clicking today, break down the steps, and figure out how to make your news impossible to ignore. Why Your Headline Is Everything Let’s be real for a ...

Story-First Branding: Why Message Beats Medium in Today’s Campaigns

Image
Ever stop and think about why a specific ad just won’t leave your mind? Not the flashy kind, but the one with a subtle message that lingers. That’s the thing about storytelling. When it’s done right, it doesn’t just lay out information, it quietly slips in and nudges your thinking without making a big deal of it. You probably won’t even notice it happening. Then a few days later, you’re choosing one brand over another and catching yourself like, huh, when did I start leaning toward this one??  Award nomination  chatter often points to these campaigns the ones that connect, not just impress. We’re bombarded with ads constantly. Most vanish before we’ve even registered them. But a few? They hit a nerve. Maybe they remind you of something personal. Or they pull out a laugh or a lump in the throat. That moment, that flicker of emotion? It’s not luck. It’s crafted. And the funny thing is, it doesn’t always take a huge budget. Just a solid sense of who’s watching.You don’t need a bl...
