Make Your Network Work for You: G&W x Goodword
Your network is your greatest asset. Learn how to turn connections into real success.
Early-stage founders are constantly told to “leverage their network,” but few are given practical guidance on how to do it in a way that’s intentional, human, and scalable.
This session is a fast, tactical walkthrough of how founders can turn relationships into real leverage — for fundraising, customers, hiring, and long-term credibility — without overwhelm.
What to Expect
Join Alex Chung, master connector and Head of Growth at Goodword, for a practical session on how high-performing founders approach relationship-building behind the scenes. Alex will walk through concrete frameworks and workflows, then leave plenty of time at the end for live Q&A and founder-specific questions.
Founders will walk away with:
A clear framework for using their network to turn relationships into real outcomes
A repeatable, low-effort approach to follow-ups, warm intros, and ongoing relationship management
An extended trial of Goodword with the opportunity to become a Goodword Founding Connector
This is not a content-marketing talk or a high-level mindset session. It’s focused on practical workflows founders can apply immediately.
Who It’s For
