Harish Venkatesh — Co-Founder

I help people and brands see who they are and what they can be. Then we build it together. Some call me a positioning/brand consultant. Others say storyteller, friend, mentor, leader. Some say strategic pain-in-the-ass who asks questions until you realize your pitch can be better. All true. Been doing this 8+ years through Become®, a positioning consultancy we built to 35 people, bootstrapped and profitable. Worked with Govt of India, Uber, Intel, Airtel, PepsiCo, Nasdaq, and scrappy startups betting everything on one idea. What I do daily: work with leadership teams, CMOs, and marketing, product teams who know their brand + product should stand for something specific, they just don't know what yet. We figure it out through research, relentless execution, uncomfortable conversations, and the occasional 3-hour debate about a single word. Want to connect? Personalize invite w/ code "POSITION2026".

A good listener. Complex. Terrible at pretending to care about things I don't. Accurate on all counts. 📩 DM or hello@become.team
