Who You’ll Work With

The quintessential 82i client is “Ms. Founder” – a classic “idea girl” entrepreneur who has been heads down for years building her business. After many years of late nights, rejections, and “coffee chats,” Ms. Founder has finally achieved product-market fit – a specific segment of the market loves her product. After the initial excitement wears off, Ms. Founder wakes up and realizes she has a whole host of new set of problems to solve. She isn’t quite sure of her approach– and that’s where you come in.
