Startup Street Academy

Helping you grow in your entrepreneurial journey.

Welcome to (most likely) the most thorough end of the year review you’re going to find.  It requires some work, and some focused thinking along the way, but once completed you should have a brutally honest snapshot of your year, and be ready to accurately - and honestly - put together your list of goals for 2026.
Crawl. Walk. Run. “Crawl / Walk / Run” is a way to measure (and build) performance within your team, utilizing three simple categories that happen to create a vivid picture in the process. 
Another year around the sun and here we are, ready for a bright new year filled with endless opportunities for those who would like to spot them.  Before we get too excited though, let’s take a look back at the previous year, and some of the more interesting/significant happenings in the general world of business, entertainment and marketing.  
Every day, there’s thousands of new and experienced entrepreneurs and business owners who struggle to find the answer to a very simple and important question:  How Much Should I Spend on Marketing? 
For startups and small businesses, building a brand can feel confusing and overwhelming. From defining your strategy to designing your identity and delivering consistent experiences, the early branding decisions you make play a major role in how your company is perceived. This guide breaks down branding into clear, practical steps to help founders turn ideas into a real, lasting brand.
Branding is often misunderstood as logos or reputation, but a real brand is built through strategy, positioning, and consistent execution. In crowded markets where products look alike, branding becomes the ultimate differentiator that drives trust and growth. This article explains what branding truly is, why it requires deliberate effort, and how startups and established businesses can use it to stand out and scale.
Momentum shapes the direction of your business and your life, whether you’re consciously managing it or not. Built slowly through focused energy and decisions, it can create powerful opportunities—or unravel quickly if neglected. This article explores what momentum really is, how it works beneath the surface, and how a deeper awareness of it can help you steer growth, avoid setbacks, and move forward with intention.
When you’re launching a startup, every decision feels monumental. From branding to business models to hiring, the choices you make early on can set the trajectory for years to come. That’s why understanding Type 1 and Type 2 decisions is one of the most valuable insights for entrepreneurs, and a key focus in startup consulting.

Jeremy and his team helped us move from idea phase to action phase. He helped us think through parts of our business plan we hadn’t considered, doing the nitty gritty research and pushing us to answer the important questions. They sourced our logo until we found the perfect one! The website design was a huge contributor to our success- it showed our donors and collaborators that even in our beginning stages we were professional and had valuable services to offer. After our website went live and Startup Street was officially “finished” with their duties for us, they continued to answer questions and support as we took over the website on our own. Even as a non-profit in an arena that Jeremy wasn’t previously versed in, he was able to tailor the business development to our unique needs. We could tell they were committed to our success from beginning to end.

I had an initial call with Jeremy and he was able to quickly asses my business model, poke the appropriate holes and gave me multiple new approaches to consider. I'm excited to see where this advice takes my company and it should unlock a whole new stream of revenue that I hadn't considered.

Startup Street has been an incredible resource for me and my business ideas. I had the pleasure of speaking with Jeremy, and he went above and beyond to help me refine my vision and strategy. He took the time to truly understand my goals and provided valuable insights that immediately gave me more clarity and direction. It’s rare to find someone who combines deep expertise with genuine enthusiasm for helping others succeed, but Jeremy does exactly that. What really stood out was how easy and motivating the entire conversation was. Jeremy’s creativity and strategic thinking opened my eyes to new possibilities I hadn’t even considered. He made the process feel simple, inspiring, and actionable. I walked away from our meeting more confident and excited about the future of my company. I highly recommend Startup Street and Jeremy to anyone serious about growing their business.

My husband and I had no idea where to begin with getting our construction company online, but my sister recommended Startup Street, and we couldn’t be happier that she did! Jeremy created an amazing website that perfectly captures what we envisioned. We’re so thankful to finally have a professional site that we’re proud to share with our clients.

Jeremy Griffen is one of the most attack-minded, dynamic marketers you'll ever have the pleasure of working with. From the moment you lay out your business plan you can almost see the gears working in his mind, churning out the most aggressive, catch you by surprise verging on shock scheme to get your business noticed. And it works! I've never met someone in the field with this level of dedication to the notion of "guerilla marketing" - hire this man NOW.
