The questions
Nine plain questions that force clarity on what you are really building and why it matters.
Deep Tech Storytelling Workshop
Deep tech deserves a better story.
A free working session that turns hard technology into a story investors, buyers, and recruits actually get.

We have taken this to Deep Tech Week. Twice.
Rahul ran the session at Deep Tech Week in San Francisco, and then again at Deep Tech Week in New York. Same workshop, same room full of founders with hard technology to explain.

What happens
Walk in unclear. Walk out with a story.
Three steps. You work on your own company, live.
The story bible
Turn those answers into a one-page narrative. It becomes the spine for every pitch and every post.
The objective
Point it at what you need next, whether that is raising, hiring, or selling.
You leave with
- A one-page story bible
- Content ideas you can use this week
- A sharper answer to "what do you do?"
Who it's for
Founders with hard technology to explain.
If any of these sounds like the week you are having, the session is built for you.
Raising soon
Your deck explains the science. It is not making anyone believe yet.
Hiring engineers
The people you want cannot tell from outside that this is the best problem available.
Selling into enterprise
Your champion gets it. The committee signing the cheque never met them.
Who leads it
An engineer who became a filmmaker.
