Workshop: Shaping Startup Culture

​Every startup has a culture. The question is whether it’s designed or accidental.

​

​In this workshop, Lindsay Siegel will guide early-stage teams through practical exercises to define mission, clarify values, and turn those values into norms people can actually follow. Expect real examples, clear language, and tools you can reuse with your team.

​

​You’ll leave with:

• ​A mission, vision, and values draft you can refine

• ​A simple way to turn values into team behaviors and decision rules

• ​A clearer signal for who you want to attract, and who you don’t
