Acquiring new users is often a pay-to-play game. Some startups lean nearly entirely on paid advertising to access new markets; many have revitalized old channels (OOH, print) and found ways to take advantage of new mediums (digital) to grow their brands.
Paid advertising is not easy. Marketing experts with working campaigns know they’ll always have to continue testing and optimizing their campaign strategies, all while on the lookout for the next upcoming channel to use.
It can be an expensive and time-consuming ordeal, but for those that make it work, they’ll find repeatable and scalable success.
Join us on August 7th as we host talented practitioners and experts to share case studies and best practices for growth across paid promotions, and more. You’ll learn how to develop growth strategies, set goals, optimize, and more!

We're prepared to answer these questions and more at StackSummit: Build The Team hosted by Stacklist and Greenhouse.
Together with Greenhouse, we’re providing a full day of panels and lessons that will equip you with the best tips, tactics, and tools to build a startup team. You’ll hear from founders and experts from some of the most successful companies in New York that have grown teams from 1 to 100+.

“Setting up a fashion business is all the more challenging because this is a hyper-competitive industry (who doesn’t want to be a fashion designer these days?) and a very complex one as well. What other kinds of start-up businesses so quickly find themselves with customers and suppliers scattered around the world, requiring so much coordination and organization?” - Imran Amed, Founder & Editor-In-Chief of Business of Fashion

But through the use of new tech, clever marketing, and innovative designs, fashion entrepreneurs have built brands that have improved our lives (and wardrobes).
If you’re building a fashion startup, join us on May 29th as we discuss what it takes to launch and grow a fashion startup with some of NYC’s smartest entrepreneurs. We’ll discuss
Designing & prototyping your product
Finding manufacturers
Competing in a crowded space
Planning for direct-to-consumer or other distribution channels
Marketing for your product
Fundraising options for beauty startups

““If you know the basics, you can get yourself set up in the right way, avoid pain, stop worrying about it, and then concentrate on what you actually want to do, which is make your company a success.” - Kirsty Nathoo, Partner and CFO at Y Combinator
Starting a company can be needlessly complicated and tedious - there’s extensive paperwork, bank visits, legal complexities, and several fees. Many will have to answer questions like “how do I set up payroll?”, “should I file as an S-Corp, C-Corp, or LLC?”, “what docs should I complete to protect my IP?” - all important things to consider for a nascent startup.
Setting up your company correctly will save you lots of pains as your company grows. We’re dedicating a night to topics founders might not give a lot of thought about - startup basics on accounting/finance, HR/payroll, legal, and incorporation.
We’ll have 4 experts give presentations on managing your basic legal and accounting issues so you can focus on building your company. We’ll discuss
HR and Payroll fundamentals like setting up comp packages, wages, contracts, benefits, and compliance
Legal concerns around trademarking, IP, and lawyers
Incorporating your business and the steps involved
Accounting and Finance basics for taxes, insurance, assets, and management

“Venture capital should come with a warning label. In our experience, VC kills more startups than slow customer adoption, technical debt, and co-founder infighting — combined.” - Eric Paley, Managing Partner at Founder Collective
In 2018, nearly 8,400 venture-backed companies raised more than $130 billion in financing, ($47B more than 2017). With the pool of venture money increasing, venture capital seems to have become the default path for startups.
Content marketing is one of the most powerful tools startups have to cement themselves as thought leaders and influencers in their space. Startups like Intercom, Drift, and Headspace have reached hundreds of millions of people through their blogs, newsletters, e-books and other distribution channels.
