Make sure to answer these questions carefully as they can make the difference between a successful application and not

Our take
Tasman has helped fast growth startups and well known brands such as Asana Rebel, Canon, Ecosia, Kaia Health, OnDeck scale up their data infrastructure and analytics efforts. The company takes a boutique approach, essentially operating as an interim Head of Data Science.
One thing that stands out about Tasman’s approach is that its intention is always to completely hand over to its clients, rather than locking them into long term contracts. This pitch to quickly scale a company’s data operations in a sustainable, manageable way – and with no future obligations – should appeal to plenty of potential customers.
Having been founded in 2017, Tasman has grown its team in a responsible manner while making a profit. Indeed, the company has sought no VC backing in its time, yet still expects to double in size in the near future as it finds its services in greater demand.
