Launching June 3rd?! Pre-Promote in Austin in March at South By

by Larry Chiang on May 24, 2015

Larry Chiang vets, filters and curates the first 17 steps for startup founders and pre-entrepreneurs. He covers founders at the front-lines of entrepreneurship via CNN’s iReport channel “What They Don’t Teach You at Business School”. He has a JBA, Jedi in Business Administration. After Chiang’s Harvard Law keynote, Harvard Business wrote: “What They Don’t Teach You at Stanford Business School“ (the same title as his NY Times bestseller). If you read his scandalously awesome “How to Hack at AfterParty“, “What a Supermodel Can Teach a Stanford MBA” and “How to Get Man-Charm”, you will like his latest post under his flagship theme “Networking and getting distribution at parties, festivals and tech conferences you crash”:

Entourage cast members crashed Four Seasons in March to promote the June release date of “Entourage”.

For four months, a major studio has been promoting a film release! If you’re a tech founder wanting to avoid startup bankruptcy, look at how much sales effort artists put forth. Artists hate to sell. CS majors hate to promote. Artists, CS majors and most people hate to have to promote. Add having to promote at a conference you’re crashing and you see why most startups fail to launch. Most startup fail to network at parties. Most startups fail to crash industries and cross the chasm from the right.

Exert effort promoting your work.

At SXSW film festival, Warner Bros crashed it to debut a film trailer for Entourage, the movie based on the HBO show.
