What you'll learn

A founder's story is a vital marketing tool for a startup

Every startup has a founder's story - it shapes how investors, customers and the media perceive your business

Use the seven basic plots to help you choose your story

One of the seven basic plots will help you frame your story in a way that captures the imagination of your audience

Examples of great founder's stories

From Eric Yuan at Zoom to Teun van de Keuken of Tony's Chocolonely and Simon Griffiths of Who Gives A Crap

Why this topic matters

Your founder's story is something you can have that your competitors can’t have because they’re too established for their founder’s story to matter. Your founder's story can be more interesting than the product itself, especially to journalists. And if you don't have a 'natural' founder's story, don't worry, you can always make one up using a PR stunt.
