When you don’t have funding, a big team, or a long list of wins, your personal brand isn’t a “nice-to-have.” It becomes the engine that gets your earliest customers to trust you, try you, and stick with you 🚀

​In this virtual fireside chat, with moderator Rahul, and panelists Ileana, Faith, Kasey, and Pankrit, share their founder lessons and experiences in tapping into their lived experiences and personal voice to power their startup’s early traction.

​💬 What we’ll explore
- How to show up online when you’re still figuring things out
- Turning your founder story into a credibility shortcut
- Building trust when you don’t have fancy logos or funders
- How much to share and where to draw the line
- The traps: overexposure, inconsistency, hiding, or blending in
- Tactical habits that build a recognisable, reliable presence

​This conversation will be candid, practical, and founder-first, just real lived strategies that help bootstrappers turn their founder online presence into business progress 🔥

​If you’re building with limited resources and need extra leverage to amplify the results of your efforts, this is a session you won't want to miss.

​​​​​🌟 Meet our panelist Ileana Koumoukelis - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ileanak/
​Hi, Ileana here, founder of Train of Thought, a social enterprise. Did you know that getting an ADHD diagnosis takes from 6 months to 2 years? By the time it arrives you are exhausted, stressed and techniques to support your memory are hardly remembered. So are you doomed forever, before getting any help?

Well, luckily, no. I quit my senior career in Tech, to help others in their ADHD journey earlier. But how? With a supplement. In the form of physical memory aids and 5-minute a day online trainings. The main thing is, it prevents stress from building up. I know because I use these memory aids myself every day. Join our pilots at www.trainoft.com.au

​Nourish Oils was born out of that journey, one ritual at a time. These blends are designed to restore calm, rebuild confidence, and reconnect women with the power they thought they’d lost. It is more than skincare. It’s soul-care, self-compassion, rooted in resilience.

​​If you’ve been watching the AI wave and thinking “I want in, but where do I start?” this session will save you months of trial and error.

​In this workshop by bMightie AI expert, Kelvin, founder of Appaca, will demonstrate how service providers and non-technical founders can design, build, and monetise AI-powered products using Appaca — a platform that lets you create fully functional AI apps, agents, and workflows without touching code.

​You’ll learn how to:
- Build a chat-style AI interface that feels like your brand, not a generic bot
- Create custom UI layouts using pre-built components and your own design system
- Train your AI agent with your own files, websites, and knowledge base
- Build structured system prompts and agentic workflows that let your AI take actions, not just answer questions
- Monetise your AI product using subscriptions, usage-based pricing, and tiered credit systems
- Publish it on your own custom domain and start generating revenue immediately via Stripe

​You’ll walk out with a clear mental model for how to go from “AI idea” to “AI income stream” using modern agent-building tools.

​If you’ve ever wanted to create a digital product that runs 24/7, delivers real value, and scales without hiring, this session will show you the simplest path to get there.

​Perfect for founders, consultants, creators, and anyone who wants to turn AI into something customers will actually pay for.
