In their words
stories especially the personal ones will help for you to come across as authentic genuine they help build relationships
if you have a strong story be careful with how far as that story can take you and be very realistic with how much of that story you want to use to influence others
having a good story opens a lot of doors very quickly but what it doesn't do it doesn't help close deals

Quick answers
What was Maryam Nabavi's TechTO talk about?
Telling your own story in public, and the second side of it. She was pre-launch and pre-revenue, and argued the personal story was the main ingredient in what Babbly had achieved so far — then talked about what sharing it cost her.
What had Babbly achieved when she spoke?
In six to nine months: an award at the Elevate tech conference, a partnership with Holland Bloorview, and 300 people signed up for a private beta — all before launch, she told the December 2019 TechTO stage.
What does Babbly do?
An app that analyzes the videos and audio parents record of their babies and returns an assessment of the child's language and social development, with a personalized plan to support it.
