Finding Your Signal: Communication, Capital, and the Work of Scaling
A Fireside Chat with Go-To-Market Guru, Jeff Berman
Jan 8, 2026, 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM EST

Building a great product is only half the battle—knowing how to bring it into the world is what determines whether it breaks through or gets lost in the noise.

In this fireside chat, Jeff Berman—founder of Berman Creative and a longtime architect of go-to-market strategies for more than 100 startups—shares insights from two decades at the intersection of creativity, strategy, and growth. With a background that spans astrophysics at the University of Chicago to leadership roles at Leo Burnett, Ogilvy, and Mullen, Jeff brings a rare perspective on how complex ideas become clear, compelling stories that drive traction.

Together, we’ll explore how founders can translate technical innovation into resonance, avoid common go-to-market pitfalls, and recognize the signals that indicate when a company is ready to scale. Expect a candid conversation on storytelling, timing, and the creative discipline required to turn early momentum into lasting impact.

Whether you’re launching something new or refining how the world understands what you’ve built, this session offers practical frameworks—and hard-won lessons—for finding your signal and cutting through the noise.
