I already launched my startup and have a logo and brand, but I wish I'd done this course first. It has helped me rethink how we think about customers, competitors and how we exist and a brand and team. Invaluable!
Clear, concise, and actionable. I loved how Module 7 tied everything together, plus the workbook was very useful. Excellent course!
