On WDKY, we're serious about startup success but we don't take ourselves too seriously. We bring you the people that have made it all happen and ask them to tell us about the many ways they could have failed – and often DID fail. 

We also make beer recommendations ;-)

Founded an enterprise tech co, found your first few customers and looking to accelerate?
We might be the right fit: 👇


Running a startup is no cakewalk.

→ Obscenely high failure rates
→ Great products don’t automatically = success
→ Super steep learning curve
→ Heavy commitment of time, headspace, and resources

Yet, here we are. You’re running your own startup now.
Quietly excited, but also anxious and unsure.
Concerns like limited runway, hiring, expansion, legalese flood your waking thoughts.

That's why I co-founded Tin Men Capital.

To support and accelerate the ambitions of brilliant B2B SaaS founders in South-East Asia at Series A and beyond. Those that have made great sacrifices to bring their best to the world – especially those focused on legacy industries that are now digitising.

Our approach to venture investing differs slightly from most firms:

→ We believe B2B Startups are a team sport. Founders, advisors and investors must all bring something to the table
→ We only invest in a handful of companies each year. We care deeply about each company we back
→ >80% of time spent advising and opening doors for founders
→ We are complementary to other VCs who have a different approach and collaborate to share insights
→ Full-stack team of venture builders with board and corporate experience - that includes some of our LPs!

If that sounds like the type of investor and partner you’d like on your cap table, I’d love to hear from you.

➡️ My background:
I've sat on the boards of more than 25 venture-backed enterprise tech firms since 2008 in various countries (Singapore, India, Australia, and the US), and stages (from pre-revenue startups to 2000+ employee firms)

I've seen the worst side of the economy during the depths of the financial crisis at 28 which was when my career in venture began. My worldview and opinions are also fuelled by previous roles in consulting, research and large-cap investments.

I have lived in and experienced different cultures across Singapore, India, Taiwan, Malaysia, and the US over the years.

Fun fact: I'm also a competitive cyclist 🚴‍♀️ (Singapore gold medal winner at the 2018 Asian Cycling Championships)

Be Broadcast

Be Broadcast is a specialist broadcast PR consultancy. This means we'll get you on TV and Radio. 

To get there, we’ll get under the skin of your brand and build a campaign which fits both key messaging and the key factors broadcasters will need.

Our USP is Senior Delivery and Senior Consultancy.

Put simply this means the person you deal with will be the person who also deals with media. All too often in this sector, things are lost in translation as they are handed over.

We also limit the number of campaign launches to one per week – meaning that your story is not competing internally at Be Broadcast with other clients or campaigns. It also means that your key moment has the entire focus and attention it deserves.

The consultancy is led by Josh Wheeler who has 10 years of experience in broadcast PR (with a further five in traditional PR). His award-winning work spans some of the leading broadcast consultancies in the UK – he is now aiming to reshape the way we look at broadcast PR.

Founder

PRCA

The Public Relations and Communications Association (PRCA) relaunched its LGBTQ+ Network with a mission to help the PR and communications industry ‘show up’ for the LGBTQ+ community as colleagues and consultants.

LGBT Council Member

Gaydio

Gaydio is a radio station for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community in the United Kingdom, broadcast on 88.4 FM in Greater Manchester, on DAB digital radio in Greater London, parts of the Home Counties, Brighton, Birmingham, Glasgow, Cambridge and Portsmouth, and online through its website, mobile apps and the UK Radio Player.

BroadcastPR Expert – Getting Brands on TV & Radio | Broadcast Consultancy & Media Relations | Media Training | Speaker | bebroadcast.co.uk

👋 Why listen to me? Because I have built campaigns for leading organisations across almost every sector and delivered consistent award-winning work since 2010. I’m now taking the approach that has helped me to grow and putting into my own agency – Be Broadcast.
 
I love getting under the skin of issues and working out what makes people impacted tick to inspire change. I work back from that weaving in the role the brand plays in order to solve or make it better.

🤩Now it’s your turn…

You’ve seen me (and your peers) sharing their incredible broadcast results on LinkedIn, hitting key messages, and finding creative ways to reach their audiences. 

And that’s without mentioning the possibilities to bring in new customers and the limitless potential broadcastPR can have on the bottom line. 

But you’re either not sure where to start, or you’ve started and you seriously want to level up.

If you’re ready to see a real ROI through broadcast PR your operatives need to be doing it right, not handling it like a factory – churning out ‘hit and miss’ content. 

I can work with you to develop strategies that my clients use to increase their sales, grow their brands and 
take advantage of audio and visual media on behalf of the brand. 

I provide:
✅ Broadcast Consultancy 
✅ Broadcast Media Relations
✅ Help With Spokespeople
✅ Research
✅ Global Broadcast Media Relations
✅ Media Training
✅ Podcasting – Development, Planning & Creation
✅ Podcast Hosting
✅ Podcast Promotion
✅ Adhoc Broadcast Media Clippings
✅ Monitoring – Week-Long and Ongoing
✅ Broadcast analysis – To Build Competitive Advantage

All available on https://bebroadcast.co.uk/ 

What my clients say:

“We cannot emphasise enough how Be Broadcast evolved the story for us delivering results like we have never seen before”

“Be Broadcast were great at shouting about our news. We got tonnes of engagement with people getting in touch from seeing and hearing the news. On a subject that could be seen as sensitive, Be Broadcast were there all through the week, with suggestions and support. We can’t wait to work together again”

“Josh was able to guide us through the entire process, provide on-the-spot media training and help us articulate what we wanted to say in the best way”

“Dynamic, ambitious and very hard-working, Be Broadcast is eminently capable working at the most senior level with clients, delivering superb client service and terrific results.”

Drop me a DM, let’s do this.
