Kick-start your day with Power Breakfast Morning at TiE Bangalore, where startups and mentors gather before the hustle of everyday work!

Power Breakfast Morning is an informal meetup of startups and leaders. An opportunity to be a part of the network and to bring together industry experts to give talks that are idea-focused, on a wide range of subjects, to foster learning, inspiration, and wonder – and provoke conversations that matter. The theme for the session is 'Storytelling for Founders: from Communication to Connection'.  

“Today, if you want to succeed as an entrepreneur, you also have to be a good storyteller,” Richard Branson, Founder - Virgin Group

Storytelling is a superb tool for startup founders. Words sell things. Nobody will listen if your message isn’t clear - it doesn’t matter how much you paid for your marketing materials. Startup founders striving to design tomorrow’s enterprises must be able to explain what their company does, simply. Is your message simple, relevant and repeatable?

In this edition with Madanmohan Rao, Research Director, YourStory, learn how to weave stories to build a brand and engage with potential co-founders and employees, customers and partners, investors and advisers.
