Why being known matters when building a startup, from visibility and sales to pitching and fundraising.

What do Albert Einstein, Steve Jobs, Che Guevara, and Michael Jackson have in common? Obviously - they are known. You may like them or not, you may understand them or not, and the only thing you can't do is ignore them!

Known people and you!
