About Event

Most early-stage founders don’t struggle because they’re underqualified—they struggle because they’re overloaded. Too many ideas. Too many voices. Too much noise. The hardest part isn’t launching—it’s knowing what you’re really building, who it’s for, and how to talk about it without second-guessing yourself every step of the way.

In this talk, Ben Cerezo draws from two decades of experience guiding startups, public agencies, and Fortune 100 brands through ambiguity. You’ll learn why clarity is more than a messaging tweak—it’s a strategic advantage. And you’ll leave with a few reliable tools to help you sharpen your offer, simplify your focus, and move forward with more confidence.

This 30-minute session is built for people navigating the in-between: not quite startup, not quite agency, not quite sure how to explain what you do—but ready to get clear and get going.
