About Eagle Tree Ventures

Eagle Tree Ventures invests alongside established venture capital firms in high-potential private technology companies. Our audience includes qualified purchasers, family offices, founders, and sophisticated investors interested in the technologies and businesses shaping the future.

We are looking for a sharp, intellectually curious research analyst and writer to help us publish original research that demonstrates how we think about emerging technologies, startups, venture capital, and the trends influencing our investment decisions.

The Role

You will produce approximately 1,000 words of original research each week.

This is not generic content marketing or a high-volume SEO writing role. We care about the quality of the thinking, the strength of the research, and the relevance to sophisticated investors.

Each piece should identify an important development or emerging trend, explain why it matters, and connect it to the future of technology, business, or venture investing.

Potential topics include:

Emerging technologies and new business models
AI infrastructure, applications, and market evolution
Startups creating or disrupting major markets
Changes in venture capital and private-market investing
Technology adoption and commercialization trends
Regulatory, economic, or geopolitical shifts affecting technology
New investment categories and developing venture theses
Second-order effects of major technological developments
Trends or opportunities sophisticated investors may be overlooking

Responsibilities

Identify timely and differentiated research topics
Monitor relevant technology, startup, and venture capital developments
Conduct research using credible primary and secondary sources
Develop a clear point of view rather than simply summarizing the news
Explain complex subjects in intelligent, accessible language
Connect developments to potential investment implications
Produce approximately 1,000 polished words each week
Incorporate feedback and help refine Eagle Tree Ventures’ editorial voice
Properly source important facts, data, and claims
Maintain a consistent weekly publishing schedule
What We Are Looking For

The ideal candidate:

Has experience researching or writing about technology, startups, venture capital, private markets, or investing
Understands how venture investors evaluate markets, companies, and emerging trends
Can distinguish durable trends from short-term hype
Thinks independently and develops defensible conclusions
Writes clearly and concisely for a sophisticated investor audience
Is comfortable explaining technical subjects without relying on jargon
Has strong research judgment and attention to detail
Can consistently deliver polished work on deadline

Experience at a venture capital firm, investment firm, technology publication, research organization, consulting firm, or startup is helpful but not required. Exceptional independent writers and analysts are encouraged to apply.

Writing Style

The work should feel:

Insightful, informed, and forward-looking
Sophisticated without being academic
Confident without overstating conclusions
Concise and enjoyable to read
Grounded in credible evidence
Relevant to real investment decisions

We do not want generic, AI-generated, or search-optimized articles that merely repeat widely reported news. We are looking for original thinking that helps us build trust with sophisticated investors.

AI tools may be used to assist with research and editing, but the final work must reflect original analysis, sound judgment, and careful fact-checking.

Engagement Structure
Ongoing freelance engagement
Approximately 1,000 finished words per week
Approximately 4,000 to 5,000 finished words per month
Consistent weekly research and writing cadence
Potential to expand the role as our research platform grows
Engagement will begin with one paid trial assignment

Please include your proposed monthly rate for this scope.

How to Apply

Please submit:

A short description of your experience with technology, startups, venture capital, or investment research.
Two or three relevant writing samples.
Three research topics you believe Eagle Tree Ventures should cover over the next 90 days.
A brief explanation of one technology trend you believe investors are currently underestimating.
Your proposed monthly rate and typical turnaround time.

Applications that do not include relevant writing samples and proposed topics will not be considered.

We are seeking an experienced California behavioral-health licensing and compliance consultant to help us evaluate and launch or acquire a residential Substance Use Disorder (SUD) treatment operation in Southern California, preferably Los Angeles County.

We are currently evaluating two possible strategies:

Acquire an existing licensed behavioral-health/SUD treatment company; or
Establish our own approximately 6-bed residential treatment facility and obtain the necessary California licenses, certifications, and approvals.

We need an expert who can advise us on the fastest lawful and practical path to operation.

The consultant should have direct experience working with California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) residential SUD licensing.

Scope of Work

We need assistance with:

Determining exactly which California licenses and certifications we need.
DHCS residential SUD treatment facility licensing.
Evaluating requirements for residential treatment and detoxification services.
ASAM / Level of Care requirements.
Incidental Medical Services (IMS), if applicable.
Fire clearance and life-safety requirements.
Los Angeles County/local zoning and property-use considerations.
Reviewing whether a proposed 6-bed property is suitable for licensing.
Developing policies, procedures, staffing requirements and compliance documentation.
Joint Commission or CARF accreditation guidance.
Insurance/payer credentialing guidance.
Advising us on change-of-ownership requirements if we acquire an existing licensed facility.
Reviewing an existing behavioral-health company before acquisition from a licensing/compliance perspective.
Developing a realistic licensing timeline and estimated startup budget.
First Assignment

The first phase will be a paid consultation and written assessment.

We would like the consultant to provide:

A step-by-step roadmap for establishing a 6-bed residential SUD treatment facility in California.
A list of every required license, certification, inspection and approval.
An estimated timeline.
Estimated regulatory and professional costs.
Property requirements.
Staffing requirements.
A comparison of starting a new facility versus acquiring an existing licensed facility.
Identification of the fastest compliant pathway to beginning operations.

If the first phase is successful, we would like the consultant to continue assisting us through the complete licensing and opening process.

Required Experience

Please apply only if you have direct California experience.

We strongly prefer someone who has personally worked on:

California DHCS SUD facility applications
Residential treatment facilities
Detoxification programs
DHCS change-of-ownership applications
ASAM Level of Care designation
IMS approval
Fire clearance
Joint Commission or CARF accreditation
Los Angeles County behavioral-health facilities

Seeking a consultant to review and improve a curriculum for a children's program. The work includes evaluating existing content, identifying gaps, and recommending updates to better support learning outcomes. You should be able to assess structure, clarity, and engagement, and provide practical suggestions for improvement. This is a part-time, short-term project for someone who can deliver thoughtful feedback and help strengthen the overall quality of the curriculum.

We're a small, science-driven organizational-diagnostics company based in Maryland. We started as a consulting and advisory practice, and we're now shifting toward a product and licensing model built around our assessment. We work with nonprofits, foundations, government agencies, and some companies, and we care a lot about doing things well and doing them ethically.

We're looking for a business and IP attorney to handle a handful of related projects as we build the legal foundation for this next phase. The most important thing to us is someone genuinely comfortable with licensing work, since that's the heart of what we need.

What we need help with:

*Co-owner setup: adding a second owner to our LLC and putting real operating-agreement terms in place (governance, buy-sell for exit, death, disability, and divorce, and a path for a future ownership change). We're taxed as an S-corp, so it needs to stay compatible with that.
*Founder IP assignment: a clean assignment moving our platform, methodology, and assessment into the company, scoped to company IP rather than everything the founders create on the side.
*Certified Facilitator program agreement (our biggest piece): a single participant agreement for a pilot that licenses and certifies outside facilitators to use our diagnostic, covering the license, IP ownership, quality and brand controls, data handling, fees, non-solicitation, and termination. This one needs someone who can review it against the FTC Franchise Rule and state franchise laws, since a certify-and-license model can drift into franchise territory.
*Contract review: a review of an existing independent-contractor agreement and a proposed amendment before we finalize them.

What we're looking for in the attorney:

*Real experience with licensing and certification agreements, and comfort spotting franchise-law issues in a license-and-certify model. This matters most.
*Solid business and entity work (LLC operating agreements, buy-sell, IP assignment).
*Clear, practical, and good at explaining tradeoffs to a smart non-lawyer. We value collaboration and honest recommendations.

How we like to work:

*Project-based rather than a monthly retainer, with an eye toward an ongoing relationship as more comes up.
*Flat fees per project where the scope is clear.
*Fully remote and virtual is fine.
*We already have a trademark attorney, so this project wouldn't involve anything in that domain.

We have a written scope with the specifics and are glad to share it once we've had a first conversation and it looks like a fit.

I’m developing an original animated TV series and am looking for an experienced TV/animation industry professional to review and help perfect the pitch package before approaching production companies and buyers.

The project already has a pilot, pitch deck, visual development, season direction, and an animated trailer entering production.

**Direct experience developing, packaging, or pitching TV projects is important.** Please include relevant industry experience or credits when applying.

Hello,

We’re building a read-only analytics app using ads_read. Our Advanced Access request was rejected because we didn’t have enough successful API calls in the preceding 15 days.

We added beta customers as app Testers. They completed developer registration, connected successfully, and generated API calls—but Meta removed their Tester roles after a few days without notification.

We are looking for consulting advice on the correct approach to invite beta customers throughh Meta Business Suite or other ways to generated legitimate API activity required for approval.

Thanks

We're a home services company in the Akron/Canton/Cleveland area running retail flooring and painting, and we're at the point where the fundamentals are in place, real jobs closing, real margin, financing set up, a CRM going live, but the sales process itself has never been looked at by someone who does this for a living. We want a genuine outside audit of everything from first contact to signed contract, and a clear plan to fix what's leaking.

What's already in place:

Housecall Pro as our CRM, Wisetack for financing
In-home, good/better/best pricing presentation with physical samples
Real jobs closing at healthy margin
Google Business Profile going through setup now

What we want looked at:

Lead intake and response time: how fast and how well we're following up on inbound calls and web leads
The in-home sales presentation itself: pricing structure, how offers are framed, objection handling, close rate
Financing positioning: are we presenting it at the right moment, in the right way
Follow-up and nurture for people who don't close on the first visit
Review and referral generation tied to the sales process, not just the job
Anything structural we're missing that a real sales operation would already have

Deliverable: a written audit with specific, prioritized recommendations, not generic advice. If the fit is right, we're open to bringing the same person back to help implement changes or train whoever runs sales for us.

Looking for someone with direct experience in home services or a similarly high-ticket, in-home sales environment (roofing, windows, remodeling, HVAC), not general sales consulting with no trade-specific background. Please share a specific example of a sales process you improved and what changed as a result.

Project Overview

We are a small independent Quantity Surveying consultancy based in Australia looking for an experienced freelancer to help automate our Microsoft Word report templates.

We currently have four report templates and are seeking a developer to complete a trial on one template first. If successful, the remaining three templates will be awarded as additional work.

The goal is to reduce report preparation time by using Word automation, dropdown selections, reusable text libraries, and data imported from Excel.

What We Need

We have existing Word report templates that contain repetitive project information, standard commentary, assumptions, qualifications, and recommendations.

We would like these templates enhanced so users can:

Select project-specific options from dropdown menus.
Automatically insert standard text based on selected options.
Reuse approved wording throughout reports.
Populate fields from Excel data exports.
Minimise manual copying and editing.
Maintain a professional and consistent report format.
Review the layout, images and overall presentation of the reports.

In the future, we intend to connect these templates to Microsoft Lists for further automation, but this is not required as part of the initial trial project. But the word document is required for future formating-connection to MS Lists.

Required Skills
Microsoft Word advanced templates
Content Controls and Form Fields
Document Automation
Microsoft Excel integration
VBA (if required)
Microsoft 365
Strong attention to detail
Presentation of consultancy of reports

Experience creating automated reports, technical documents, engineering reports, construction reports, or professional consulting documents would be beneficial.

Trial Project

The successful applicant will:

Review one existing Word template.
Recommend the best automation approach.
Develop an automated version of the template.
Demonstrate how the template can work with Excel-based data.
Provide basic instructions for future use.

Following successful completion, there will be an opportunity to automate three additional report templates and potentially assist with future Microsoft Lists integration.

To Apply

Please provide:

Examples of similar Word automation projects.
Experience working with Word and Excel together.
Your preferred automation approach.
Estimated availability.

We're looking for a practical freelancer who enjoys building efficient reporting systems and can provide straightforward solutions without unnecessary complexity.

I am looking for an experienced brand identity and logo designer to redesign the logo for Kynectic Capital, a real estate private equity and investment firm.

We work with accredited investors investing in institutional scale multifamily real estate. I want the brand to feel sophisticated, credible, modern, premium, and established. It should look appropriate on an investor presentation, offering materials, website, LinkedIn, conference signage, and alongside established investment firms.

I already have a logo, but I no longer like the overall execution. I am not looking for a completely generic rebrand. There are elements of the existing identity that may be worth retaining or evolving, particularly the concept of a standalone K symbol.

What I want

The preferred logo structure is:

K symbol on the left

KYNECTIC on the upper right

CAPITAL underneath KYNECTIC

My primary brand color is #9d1fa6.

I am open to complementary black, charcoal, white, or another restrained secondary color if it improves the identity.

The K symbol does not need to resemble my current K. I want you to explore better concepts.

The typography is extremely important. One of my biggest problems with the current logo is that the font and overall composition do not feel distinctive or premium enough.

Brand direction

Think:

Sophisticated private equity.

Institutional investment firm.

Modern wealth management.

Premium but not flashy.

Confident and established.

Clean enough to remain relevant for many years.

I do not want something that looks like a small real estate wholesaling company, mortgage company, crypto startup, or generic Canva logo.

Please avoid obvious buildings, rooftops, keys, houses, dollar signs, stock charts, generic upward arrows, excessive gradients, shiny effects, and cliché finance imagery.

I would rather have an excellent typography driven identity and a distinctive K monogram than an overly complicated symbol.

Deliverables

I would like the project to include:

At least 3 genuinely different initial concepts, not three minor variations of the same logo.
Primary horizontal logo.
Standalone K brand mark.
Stacked or alternate logo configuration if appropriate.
Full color version.
Black version.
White reversed version.
Transparent background versions.
Vector source files, preferably AI, EPS, and SVG.
High resolution PNG files.
Font names and typography recommendations.
Exact brand color specifications, including HEX, RGB, and CMYK.
Basic spacing and usage guidance.

Please make sure all final artwork is original vector artwork, not AI generated artwork that has simply been converted into a vector.

When applying

Please send 3 to 5 examples of logo or brand identity work most similar to this project, particularly financial services, private equity, investment management, real estate investment, consulting, law, or other premium professional services brands.

Do not send me your entire portfolio.

Also briefly explain what you would change about the attached existing Kynectic Capital logo and why.

I value strong creative judgment. I am not looking for someone who simply executes instructions. I want a designer who can challenge the existing identity and develop something substantially better.

Description:

We manufacture custom silicone roll-on liners for prosthetic limb users. We need an experienced consultant to help us solve several interconnected development challenges as we refine our liner line.

Scope of work:

• Material selection: Evaluate and recommend silicone formulations suited for roll-on prosthetic liners (we've been working with Ecoflex 00-33 and looking at surface treatments like NuSil's MED-2132 line) — balancing comfort, durability, and skin safety
• Tackiness solution: Our current silicone is too tacky to roll on practically. Help us decide between (a) a surface treatment/coating approach or (b) a fabric-lamination workflow to bond fabric to the liner's exterior, and help implement whichever is best
• Sizing: Help establish a practical sizing system/range for liners across different limb shapes and volumes
• Mold design: Guide us on creating molds suited for consistent, repeatable liner production (material, draft angles, parting lines, etc.)

Ideal skills/experience:

• Background in silicone/elastomer material science or product development
• Experience with prosthetic, orthotic, or medical wearable silicone products strongly preferred
• Familiarity with mold design/tooling for silicone casting
• Bonus: experience laminating fabric to silicone (e.g., for grip, texture, or moisture management)

Project length: 1–4 weeks initially (open to extending if it's a good fit), fixed price or hourly

How to apply: Please describe relevant experience with silicone liner/wearable development, and briefly share your take on surface treatment vs. fabric lamination for reducing tackiness.

We are a Washington property management company seeking an experienced AppFolio Accounting Consultant/Trainer to establish proper bookkeeping procedures and provide hands-on training. This is not a bookkeeping outsourcing role. We need someone patient who can walk us through AppFolio step-by-step, including where to enter data, which reports to run, what to check, and why. Training should cover onboarding new owners/properties, taking over properties, tenant and owner ledgers, security deposits, trust accounting, owner contributions and distributions, bills and reimbursements, NSF payments, bank and trust reconciliations, month-end procedures, owner statements, and SOPs for future use. Strong AppFolio experience and knowledge of Washington property management and trust fund requirements are essential. We plan to start with live screenshare training and may need ongoing consulting as questions arise.

I run a Texas-based education company with a facilitated teen workshop program, built on a published book with proven early school-district adoption. I need a marketing/sales consultant (or small team — strategist + designer) to build a national outreach package: strategy, a researched target list, and a full set of designed sales/marketing materials. This is a one-time project engagement, not an ongoing retainer.

Deliverables required:

Researched target list — 250+ named schools/districts, youth-serving nonprofits, and potential corporate/community sponsors nationally, segmented by type, with decision-maker name/title and contact info where available.
National outreach strategy document — channel recommendations and sequencing for reaching each segment (schools/districts vs. nonprofits vs. sponsors), since each has a different buying process.
Two audience-specific pitch decks (10–15 slides each, professionally designed, editable source file):
Version A: for school/district decision-makers (principals, counselors, SEL directors)
Version B: for nonprofit and corporate/community sponsor decision-makers
I'll provide program content/copy; you handle strategy, structure, and visual design.
Print-ready designed collateral:
2 one-page program flyers/sell sheets (print-ready PDF, one per audience type above)
1 one-page capability/program overview sheet suitable for cold outreach
Social media graphic package:
8–10 designed, editable graphic templates sized for Instagram and LinkedIn (announcement, testimonial/quote template, stat/impact template, event/CTA template)
Outreach email sequences: 3 email templates (initial outreach, follow-up, closing) tailored to school/district contacts, plus 1 variant for nonprofit/sponsor contacts.

Timeline: 6–8 weeks from project start.

Proposal requirements:

Submit a written, itemized proposal breaking down cost by deliverable category above (research/list, strategy, decks, print collateral, social graphics, email copy) — I need this as documentation for a small business grant.
Flat, fixed total price, not hourly — formatted as a proposal/invoice with your business name and a dollar total I can save as a PDF.

This is a one-time engagement to build materials I'll use myself going forward — not ongoing contract labor.
Individual consultants or small 2-person teams (strategist + designer) welcome — please note in your proposal if you're subcontracting design work.

About you: Marketing/design consultants with B2B, education, or institutional sales experience preferred. Please share 1–2 relevant past projects, ideally including designed sales collateral samples.

Running ~20 pre-booked Zoom calls per week with prospects who have already opted in and qualified
Following our call framework — we provide the script, the objection doc, and recordings of winning calls
Scoping the build on the call well enough to price it correctly (we'll train you on this; you don't need a technical background, but you do need to be genuinely curious about how this stuff works)
Following up on deals that don't close on the first call
Keeping the CRM current

The numbers, straight up:

Average deal: $7,500 (range $5,000–$20,000)
Calls booked: ~20/week, all pre-booked and qualified
Show rate: 75% — so about 15 held calls a week
Close rate: the founder currently closes 1 in 3 held calls
Commission: 15% of the first payment (~$1,125 on an average deal), plus 5% of any continuing retainer while the client stays
Realistic math: at 15 held calls a week and a 20% close rate while you ramp, that's about 12 deals a month — roughly $13,500/month. Hit the founder's 1-in-3 and it's meaningfully higher. We're quoting you the ramped number, not the ceiling.

Structure: Contractor, straight commission. No base. You're paid on what you close, uncapped.

What we're looking for:

You've personally closed deals in the $5K–$20K range on calls, to founders or operators
You can hold a conversation about a technical scope without pretending to be an engineer — our buyers can tell
You run a script consistently instead of improvising a new pitch every call
You follow up without being chased
US-based, available during standard business hours

What we're not looking for:

Course graduates with no closed deals. The certificate is not the qualification.
Anyone whose AI sales experience is $2K "automation agency" retainers — different buyer, different call, different objections.
Anyone who needs to build their own pipeline. That's not this role and it's not how you'd get paid.
People who'll oversell to make a commission. We have to actually build what you sell. Overpromised scope becomes a refund, and that comes out of both our pockets.

How hiring works:

Short intro call
A live roleplay — you get our materials a day ahead and sell the offer back to me
One paid week on 5–10 real recorded calls
Ongoing if the week goes well

To apply, answer these three questions in your proposal. Applications without them won't be reviewed:

What have you personally closed — what product, at what price point, to what kind of buyer?
What was your close rate, and on roughly how many calls?
A prospect says: "This sounds great, but I've seen a lot of AI stuff that didn't work. How do I know this isn't the same?" — how do you handle it?

Attach a recording of yourself on a real sales call if you have one, or a 2-minute video answering question 3.

# Lead Qualification & Appointment Setter for Virtual Assistant Company

We’re looking for a personable, confident **Lead Qualification & Appointment Setter** to speak with prospective clients who are interested in hiring a Virtual Assistant or Executive Assistant.

This is not a high-pressure sales or cold-calling role. You’ll be speaking with leads who have already expressed interest in our services.

Your job is to have a natural conversation, understand what the prospect needs, determine whether they’re a good fit for what we offer, and move qualified prospects forward to a more detailed consultation with our team.

### What You’ll Do

* Conduct approximately 1-hour calls with prospective clients
* Learn about their business, current challenges, and what they need help with
* Ask the right questions to understand the role they’re looking to fill
* Determine whether the prospect is a good fit for our services
* Explain our service at a high level and set proper expectations
* Address basic questions or concerns
* Build rapport and keep the conversation personable and professional
* Move qualified prospects forward to the next call with our team
* Provide clear notes and context after each conversation

### What We’re Looking For

We care much more about how you communicate than whether you have a traditional sales background.

You should be:

* Extremely personable and easy to talk to
* Confident speaking with business owners and executives
* A strong listener who knows how to ask good follow-up questions
* Comfortable qualifying leads and identifying when someone is or is not a good fit
* Able to guide a conversation without sounding scripted
* Professional, organized, and reliable
* Fluent in spoken English with excellent communication skills

Experience in sales, appointment setting, client onboarding, recruiting, account management, or consulting is a plus.

### Compensation

This is a **pay-per-call position**.

You will be paid for each completed approximately 1-hour prospect appointment.

The goal is not simply to book as many people as possible. We care about **qualified appointments** and making sure the prospect is genuinely a good potential fit before moving them further through our process.

### About Us

We help businesses hire experienced, full-time Virtual Assistants and Executive Assistants.

Our clients come to us because they need someone who can become a meaningful part of their day-to-day operations, rather than simply completing occasional tasks.

You’ll often be one of the first people a prospective client speaks with, so we’re looking for someone who can represent the company well while also determining whether there is a strong fit on both sides.

### To Apply

Please send:

1. A short introduction about yourself
2. Any experience you have speaking with, qualifying, or onboarding prospective clients
3. A brief video or voice introduction so we can get a feel for your communication style
4. Your availability

About StrataVida

StrataVida Management Group LLC (SVMG) is a governance-driven management company and institutional parent that develops, owns, manages, protects, commercializes, and scales businesses, intellectual property, programs, and strategic ventures.

We are seeking an experienced identity designer to develop a durable corporate visual identity system as SVMG evolves into the parent of multiple distinct organizations.

Our institutional strategy, positioning, mission, vision, messaging, and website architecture are already established. This is an identity design engagement, not a brand-strategy project.

The Assignment

SVMG currently has an SV monogram, wordmark, typography, and navy/gold palette. These are assets to evaluate—not constraints.

We are explicitly open to refining, substantially evolving, or completely redesigning the SV logo if that produces a stronger long-term identity.

The finished identity should communicate:

Sophistication • Structure • Intentionality • Strength • Longevity • Modernity • Executive credibility

We want something clean, distinctive, restrained, and enduring—institutional credibility without looking like a generic consulting firm, private-equity company, law firm, healthcare company, or startup.

Scope

The selected designer will:

Assess the existing SV logo, wordmark, typography, and palette.
Develop 3 genuinely differentiated identity directions with rationale.
Refine the selected direction into a complete corporate identity system.
Create primary/secondary logos, wordmark, standalone mark/icon, horizontal/stacked configurations, and full-color/black/white/reversed/one-color versions.
Establish typography hierarchy and color specifications (HEX/RGB/CMYK and Pantone where appropriate).
Develop clear-space, minimum-size, and usage standards.
Create an endorsement treatment allowing independently branded organizations to communicate their relationship to SVMG without having to visually resemble the parent.
Demonstrate the identity across a limited number of relevant corporate/digital applications.
Deliver a practical 10–15 page identity guide.
Provide organized AI/EPS/SVG/PDF/PNG and web-ready final files with ownership rights transferred upon final payment.
Website Coordination

Our corporate website is being professionally redesigned in parallel.

The selected identity designer must be willing to coordinate reasonably with our website designer regarding logo usage, typography, color, visual language, and digital implementation.

The identity designer owns the identity system; the website designer owns UX/UI and Squarespace implementation.

Ideal Designer

We are looking for someone with strong work in corporate, institutional, holding/parent company, investment, architecture/design, professional-services, or sophisticated B2B identity systems.

Strong typography, restraint, conceptual judgment, and system thinking matter more to us than the number of logos in your portfolio.

We want a designer who can understand the objective, apply professional judgment, and make considered recommendations without requiring the client to art-direct every decision.

Timeline: Approximately 3–4 weeks
Target fixed budget: $750–$1,500

To Apply

Please provide:

3–5 relevant identity projects from your portfolio.
A brief explanation of why your experience fits this project.
Your answer to: What are the two greatest visual identity risks for StrataVida as it evolves into the parent of multiple distinct organizations?
How you would determine whether our existing SV mark should be preserved, refined, evolved, or replaced. No speculative design work is requested.
Your proposed process, timeline, and fixed fee.
Confirmation that you will personally perform the design work, or identify anyone else who will participate.
Confirmation that you can coordinate directly with our website designer.

Please do not submit a generic proposal or unpaid design concepts. We are evaluating portfolio quality, thinking, judgment, and fit.

Absolutely. Here’s a polished job description you can post on Upwork or a similar platform.

We’re hiring three full-time assistants to help build and organize two business projects from the ground up. This is not an agency or consultant role. We want individual applicants who are smart, reliable, organized, and coachable. Experience is helpful but not required. Recent grads and entry-level candidates are welcome.

$150 fixed-price research session | 75–90 minutes | Remote

Sidechain Security is developing Timberline, a private AI workspace designed for healthcare operations.

We are recruiting experienced medical claims reviewers, claims analysts, claims adjudicators, payment-integrity reviewers, and related healthcare operations professionals to participate in paid product research.

This is not a sales role, consulting project, or production claims-processing assignment. We want to learn directly from people who currently perform — or have recently performed — hands-on claims review.

What you will do

During a 75–90 minute remote Zoom session, you will:

1. Walk us through how you normally approach a difficult or non-routine medical claim.

2. Work through a realistic synthetic healthcare case provided by Sidechain Security.

3. User test an early version of Timberline.

4. Think aloud while you work so we can understand what you look for, what information you verify, where professional judgment is required, and what makes a case difficult.

5. Give candid feedback about what the product gets right, what it gets wrong, what you would verify, what you would not trust, and what would need to change for the product to be useful in real-world healthcare operations.

We are testing the product — not your performance. There is no requirement to reach a particular answer.

Who we are looking for

We are especially interested in professionals with recent hands-on experience in areas such as:

Medical claims review or adjudication
Complex or exception claims
Claims analysis
Coverage review
Appeals or reconsiderations
Payment integrity
Utilization or medical-necessity review
TPA claims operations
Health-plan or payer operations
Coding-related claims review

Experience with a health plan, payer, third-party administrator, claims administrator, payment-integrity organization, PBM, provider organization, or similar healthcare organization is particularly relevant.

We are primarily seeking practitioners who have personally performed the work, rather than consultants or managers whose experience is exclusively strategic.

Compensation

The project pays a fixed $150 for one completed 75–90 minute research session.

Strong participants may be invited to additional paid sessions as Timberline evolves. We are building a small group of experienced practitioners who can evaluate product iterations over time.

Privacy and data requirements

Participants must not share real patient information, PHI, actual claims, screenshots from employer systems, confidential employer documents, proprietary customer information, or other third-party confidential information.

All exercises will use synthetic, de-identified, or otherwise research-appropriate materials supplied by Sidechain Security.

We are interested in understanding your workflow, reasoning, verification process, and professional experience — not obtaining real patient or employer data.

Recording and use of the session

Research sessions will be recorded and may include audio, video, screen recording, transcripts, and written notes.

Recordings and participant feedback may be used by Sidechain Security for:

Product research and testing
Product development and internal training
Sales presentations
Marketing materials
Website content
Case studies
Presentations and other business communications

Portions of your comments, quotes, audio, or session materials may be used publicly for marketing or promotional purposes.

By accepting the project and participating in the research session, you agree to these uses. The project agreement will contain the complete recording and usage terms.

Sidechain Security will not intentionally use participant statements in a way that materially changes their meaning.

Participation does not authorize Sidechain Security to publish confidential information belonging to your current or former employer or any third party.

Before applying

You should be comfortable:

1. Participating in a Zoom session lasting up to 90 minutes.

2. Sharing your screen while working only with materials supplied by us.

3. Thinking aloud while reviewing a synthetic case.

4. Providing direct and critical feedback.

5. Having the session recorded.

6. Allowing portions of your participation and feedback to potentially be used in Sidechain Security or Timberline marketing and sales materials.

7. Completing the entire exercise without sharing PHI or confidential employer information.

Application questions

Please answer all of the following. We will use these responses to select participants whose experience best matches the workflows we are currently researching.

1. What is your current or most recent healthcare role, and how many years of hands-on claims experience do you have?

2. Which of the following have you personally performed?
Medical claims adjudication, complex claims review, coverage review, appeals, payment integrity, utilization review, medical-necessity review, coding review, prior authorization, or other related work.

3. What type of organization did you perform this work for?
For example: health plan/payer, TPA, provider, PBM, payment-integrity organization, RCM company, consulting organization, or other.

4. Briefly describe one type of difficult or non-routine medical claim you have personally had to review.
Please describe the type of case and why it was difficult. Do not include patient information or confidential employer information.

5. When reviewing a difficult medical claim, what systems, documents, or information sources would you typically consult?

6. What professional certifications do you hold, if any?
Examples might include coding, billing, utilization-management, nursing, claims, or other healthcare-related credentials.

7. Are you comfortable participating in a 75–90 minute Zoom session, sharing your screen while working with our synthetic materials, thinking aloud, and having the session recorded?

8. Are you comfortable with portions of your recorded comments, quotes, audio, video, image, voice, or feedback potentially being used in Sidechain Security or Timberline marketing, sales, website, presentation, or case-study materials?

9. Can you confirm that you will not provide or display PHI, actual patient records, real claims, confidential employer materials, or other third-party confidential information during the research session?
