Rampd is a boutique consulting / advisory firm that solves a unique need for early-stage startups. It stems from the realization that most founders are technical. And the black box for many technical founders is understanding customer acquisition and selling. Here's how Rampd fills that need. We build and coach founders on how to close their first million in revenue and establish PMF. The playbook we design is based on finding the right ICP and conveying the client's value prop correctly. The coaching takes place on weekly calls, loom feedback videos, and correspondence through Slack. Clients send us all their calls, and we provide tailored feedback based on executing the processes. Once we train them on our framework, their confidence increases, and revenue becomes predictable. We've worked with over 300 YC alumni, and 100% of our business comes from client and VC referrals.

Also how to think about incorporating different tools and how that process is evolved.

We generally have 20+ interns a semester across all these areas in order to run a Friday simulated VR experience for our own testing needs. This is the primary reason for the interns. We still expect you to learn your craft and will help you do that. We have had over 100 interns now "graduated" from our experience, undergraduate, graduate and post-matriculated interns. Many now have jobs. You must have availability Friday 9-11 AM PST for the internship, that is the only and prime requirement, when we run our standup and simulated experiences.
