Human Brands Win

Because Their Founders Think B.R.A.V.E.

The Difference is BRAVE

The most powerful differentiator isn’t your product, tech stack, or playbook. It’s how you think, lead, and show up as the human behind your business.

The Philosophy

Thinking B.R.A.V.E.

The B.R.A.V.E. framework is how founders build iconic Human Brands that lead, connect, and grow without losing their vision or compromising their values along the way.
  • Brand: Position yourself intentionally for long-term alignment with your vision.
  • Relationships: Build trust with the right people through empathy and connection.
  • Audacity: Be bold enough to hold space for creativity and innovation.
  • Values: Embrace your purpose and use it to make decisions with confidence.
  • Energy: Learn to trust your instinct and protect what fuels your best work.

Hi, I'm Lindsay

Few people have been both a successful venture-backed CEO and a global B2B brand leader.
Hi 👋. I’ve been both.

Before launching Human Brands Win, I founded and led a SaaS startup, Casted, where I raised $13 million in venture funding, built a new category in B2B marketing, and served customer brands like Salesforce, HubSpot, Gong, and IBM.

Before that, I spent nearly two decades partnering with and developing brand and content strategies for global brands like Intel, LinkedIn, and L’Oréal. But nothing taught me more about leadership than being a first-time founder: the power of the Founder Brand, navigating growth, the toils of fundraising, and the isolation that comes with building something from scratch.

That’s why I do what I do now: I help founders build brands (and lives) that are as aligned with who they are inside as they are with their growth goals on the outside. Through Human Brands Win, I give founders the strategy, story, and support I wish I’d had: practical brand leadership rooted in real lived experience.

Because when founders grow as humans, their brands are magnetic and their businesses thrive. In short, their Human Brands Win.
