You promise to left-hook our businesses before the market does. How valuable is a left-hook that doesn't come from customers?

One person doesn't know what the market wants before the market tells them. Even Steve Jobs, considered the king of knowing what the market wants without asking them, failed miserably at that game for years. VCs also constantly fail at it, even though it's their professional.

This is essentially a pre-Lean pitch. Pass.

I don't predict what the market wants. I will just audit a site or product to uncover UX/UI or other design/marketing issues before they end up as help tickets.
