Discovering Storied

In his quest for tools that complement his neurodiversity, Noel discovered Storied—an app designed for dyslexic thinkers to articulate complex ideas. Storied's voice-to-text feature allowed him to bypass typing difficulties, while its questioning system helped refine his thoughts. As an early tester, Noel experimented with Storied’s workflows, finding them invaluable for expressing intricate concepts.

A Brief Hiatus and a Business Need

Although Noel briefly reverted to his old habits, a compelling business opportunity prompted his return to using Storied. He envisioned spinning off a digital asset into a new company, integrating it with a novel sales & marketing process, and acquiring another company to bolster the venture. The timing was everything. Noel believed in his vision, but there were a lot of complex pieces that had to come together. To get the deal done, he had to do a lot of high-quality communication in a very short period of time.

Noel reached out to Storied's CEO, Nick Koshnick, who ensured the company would stand by its data security guarantees and provide reliability support if something went wrong. Noel started using Storied almost daily, crafting concise documents to engage stakeholders.

A major success

A Turning Point

Noel sent a write-up for part of their investor pitch to one of his partners. Not long after, he received a call. His partner wanted him to walk through his process for how he got there. Noel was a bit worried. Why did he want to know? His partner said it was because it was probably the most concise organization of his thoughts that he’d ever seen. The doc he sent was created by Storied, transcribed, and reorganized from Noel's free-form spoken words. His dedication to the tool was paying off.

Getting Buy-in

Getting Buy-in

The biggest challenge was getting the owners of the digital asset on board. They were experts in the industry and needed to hear more details than external investors before they would agree to sell off something they had developed. They needed to believe in more than the vision. They needed the details and the complete business plan. Noel used the storied app to bring industry partners on board. He also used Storied to communicate aspects to illustrators who could build visuals to strengthen the pitch. After hours of work, the written product was delivered to the owners, and he got them to sign off.
