Building a business from one product
Senior-year internship at VDart, helping build a company from the ground up starting with only a product: marketing, sales scripts, customer acquisition, cost analysis and research.

The work
We started with a product and nothing else. I help with marketing, sales and sales scripts, cost decisions and analysis, customer acquisition and research — plus whatever else the business needs that week.

Why it's on an engineering portfolio
It's the same skill I used as the robotics team's business director, at a bigger scale: a good design only matters if someone can pay for it, build it and use it.
