Can you take us through the process of being an entrepreneur in residence here?
8:15
Yeah, totally.
8:17
So it's pretty much a three-part process of problem discovery, solution ideation, commercial validation, which, yeah, is exactly what we did at Conquer.

And so it starts with... a very open-ended exploration of the challenges and the headaches and the pain that exists for marketers in the market right now.
8:46
So that's kind of an easy part, right? Tell us what's really annoying you.
8:51
People quite like answering that question, like you can have a gripe and a grumble.

And so you go out and you ask 100 people to give you half an hour to talk about their troubles.
