[District] Virtual Lightning Session: Is That Actually a Strategy?

​Most founders think they have a strategy.

​What they often actually have is a list of priorities, a revenue target, or a plan to “grow faster.” None of those are strategies. And that gap between what founders think is a strategy and what actually constitutes one is where a lot of early-stage companies quietly lose their way.

​Join us for a 30 minute virtual session with Michael Hirsch as we break down what real strategy actually looks like, why companies lose focus by chasing too many opportunities, and how to tell if your strategy is actually differentiated. You’ll leave with a practical framework to build a strategy that actually creates differentiation.
