Myth No.3: "I'm a private person."
First, unless you're fully anonymous, people can and will look you up. Even anons have a reputation and brand, think Banksy or punk6529.
Second, nobody suggests that you spill your guts and share your seed phrase on your socials.
You want to build a public presence that shows that you're a trustworthy expert in your field. You can absolutely keep your private life private.
Privacy is not an excuse not to do content or be out there.
Grok just made founder visibility 10x more valuable.
X is now ranking content with Grok, and the platform is getting much better at figuring out who people actually want to hear from.
For early stage companies, your company account is now unlikely to be strongest voice in the room, it's the founder.
I've spent a lot of time talking to early stage founders over the last few years, most come to Hype because they know they need help building a strong story and narrative for their brand/product to go to market with.
But very few I speak to have even considered how valuable it is for them to personally think about their own personal story too. Most of the time it's an afterthought and comes too late. How will you as a founder show up? how will you make sure your vision and credibility can be used to push your company forward?
Over the years we've helped hundreds of projects and founders in crypto figure this problem out, and we realised there is actually a great formula for success, especially when you're still early and building.
If you're a founder, either at a very early stage of your product, or at a stage where you're still struggling to break out from the noise with a compelling narrative, then the Hype Bootcamp is for you.
A 4 week sprint, that requires just a couple hours each week of your time, that can honestly completely transform the trajectory of you and your business, just ask the founders who took part in our previous cohort!
We have some of the greatest marketing minds in the business at Hype, and this is the best way for you to have direct 121 access to them (and to our network of expert partners across the media landscape) to help you solve your entire market positioning problem and really stand out.
Places are very limited and we vet every single application manually. If you're genuinely interested, you can apply below. If you're not serious, please don't bother.

After the @HypeBootcamp pilot, 100% of founders reported real clarity + confidence in their messaging.
2 out of 5 got inbound partnership & investment opportunities before the program even ended.
Scholarships available. Spots are limited.
The Bootcamp is for brilliant builders who hate “personal branding” but know being invisible means leaving money on the table.
It’s ideal for founders who are getting ready to raise or to launch.
The program is also open to C-suite and investors.
it’s all fun and games until you’re standing in front of a VC trying to sell them on your product.
at @HypeBootcamp we build your story alongside your product so when you’re ready to talk, all your messaging is already there.
DM me for more info on how to get people to care
The WHY is at the core of any business.
Not your personal why as much, but the real why behind it - why does anyone care about what you're building?
What is the real pain, and how are you solving it?
It's the beacon that you can always orient by.
The Bootcamp Diaries #3
You're talking out of your a$$ half the time.
Because you're not talking to your customers enough.
It's a product problem in the making.
It's a comms problem already.
It's Week 3 of @HypeBootcamp. We are delivering and discussing Comms Playbooks with participants this week, and this is what came out of that.
Founders are too focused on shipping and can't make the time for proper customer interviews.
You don't know why anyone would really want your thing. Not your idea about it, but the reality of customers' lives.
You might send your customer a feedback form on occasion, and while you think you're getting the data, nothing can compare to the depth that you get from an actual, well-structured interview.
Product aside, there are several opportunities that you are missing comms wise:
1. You need to hear the pain.
Not in an abstract way, but in a real way - does the problem you're solving actually cause people significant pain? Are you picking up a real emotion there?
The moment you find that pain - your messaging will click right in place.
2. Build relationships. Before you sell. Before you build even.
It's important for B2C, but even more so for B2B. When you initiate a conversation from the position of researching the problem instead of selling something - people are much more willing to have a conversation. You get to build relationships with your future clients before you even have a product.
3. Content.
Every conversation will give you not only ideas for content but actual quotes that you can ground your messaging in. You can include them in your fundraising deck. You can use them in your content.
User conversations should be part of your routine as a founder - both for product and for comms. Schedule them into your life - at least two per month. Doesn't have to be long. 20-30 min is plenty.
It will change how you build and how you talk about your product.
You will finally not be talking out of your a$$.
And trust me, you will feel better too.
PR does not stand for "Press Release."
What is a press release anyway?
Week #2 of The Bootcamp is here and it's all about media relations.
How to talk to journalists? How to answer their questions? How not to?
All of that and more with @bogwitch and @emmaontheblock
The Founding Cohort of The Bootcamp is a stellar bunch!

Some amazing stories are coming your way!
Stay tuned.
Why is storytelling important?
-Storytelling turns facts into meaning.
-It’s how ideas travel, trust compounds, and people decide to care.
-If you can’t tell the story, the best product, insight, or truth stays invisible.
@HypeBootcamp
Founder comms ROI is real.
So is the cost of being invisible.
You're not here to shill your token.
You're here to build trust.
Institutions trust founders with a strong public presence 6x more than those who are invisible.
Last chance to catch @HypeBootcamp.
Never let a good crisis go to waste.
When the water is choppy, it's the captain's job to show up on the deck and steer the ship.
Now is your chance as a founder to show conviction and build trust - with your team, with your investors, and customers.
Do not hide right now. 🧵
Being highly technical could take you 80% of the way.
The remaining 20% is comms.
Building a business is fundraising, hiring, media, internal comms - you need a vision, a plan, and yes, skills for all of it.
The Bootcamp gets you there.
Last chance to sign up.
The best founders don’t just build products, they build belief.
But belief requires a story, and most founders never take the time to craft one.
@hypebootcamp is Hype’s messaging development sprint for founders who are ready to turn their vision into a story.
