Who said that marketing has to be expensive?
Who said that only startups that get funded can make it big?
Well, they are wrong!

On Marketing Before Funding, we talk about how you can make your startup insanely successful using smart and effective marketing.

Here’s what we believe in:

  1. “Build it and they will come” no longer works. That’s why you need a new recipe for success.
  2. Success isn’t defined by the amount of money raised. It is defined by getting customers and real growth. For that you need marketing.
  3. Marketing doesn’t have to be expensive. Just as many others have done before, you can bootstrap your way to greatness.

And this is where Marketing Before Funding comes in!

Whether you’re launching a startup or working at one, here you’ll find resources to help your company grow, and support from entrepreneurs and marketers who are on the same journey as you.

We discuss strategies, tactics, and tools that can help make an impact and don’t require wasting a shipload of cash. From building remarkable products and establishing powerful brands, to managing communities and dealing with the media, this blog covers it all.
