Hi <<First Name>>,
Thank you so much for joining us last week and this morning for our two part 'How to tell the story of your startup' virtual workshops.

As promised, please find below a series of tools, resources and tips mentioned throughout the workshop - as well as extra activities and information to keep you inspired and moving forward. The slide deck (part one and part two) are also attached for your use and review.

We really appreciate your feedback as it helps us to develop better content to help more startups understand how to build their brand. If you haven't yet completed our quick 2 minute survey, please do so now.

We look forward to seeing you for the 1:1 follow up appointments. These will now take place via Zoom. Please let us know your preferred date and times (on either Fri 22 May or Wed 27 May) and let us know in advance (via email) what you'd like to discuss.

Thanks again,
Sarah & Melia
