A note from the founder
“
Most executives who come to us have one thing in common: they've already tried something else, and it didn't work. PrimeStart Consultant exists because neither a domestic hire nor a VA platform has to be the answer. One Nairobi office. One vetting standard. One NDA. If we wouldn't put this EA in front of our own investors, we don't put them in front of you.
