This episode of How to Unf**k Your Startup features a chat with Dorothy Chang, Co-Founder at Lynx Collective, an amazing community for tech startup founders and aspiring entrepreneurs. Dorothy's been a rising star in the NYC tech scene for over two decades, killing it in roles in PR, marketing, venture capital, and nonprofit leadership. Make no mistake, she knows her stuff. Throughout the conversation, Dorothy broke down why crafting an unforgettable story is non-negotiable for every early-stage startup. She dug deep into what separates a dull story from a holy-s***-I-need-to-tell-everyone-about-this story, how to sidestep the awkward rookie blunders that'll make people's eyes roll, and why even the most naturally gifted storytellers need to put in the reps to keep their skills sharp.
