Our Timeline

Our period of engagement usually lasts around four to five months, which is the length of a semester at Cornell. Throughout the semester, we work along with our clients through check-in meetings to ensure that both sides are on the same page. We work throughout the semester in teams of four to six students performing market research and other tasks and then provide succinct recommendations to resolve the problems that our clients face.
