Show notes.

$1M+ pre-seed raised. Zero investor cold outreach mistakes.

Jessica Liew built Intriq to solve a problem she lived every day as a consultant: hours spent asking, "Can you send me that spreadsheet?” instead of doing actual strategy work.

Her platform automates up to 87% of manual consulting work.

• Document analysis
• Data extraction
• Report drafting
• All handled so consultants can focus on impact instead of grunt work.
