Passion, drive and an “aha” moment are what drove uIntuition to be founded as a company. Each executive member brought their own joys and reasons why they wanted to be involved with a company that helps students find jobs and career development opportunities, which was the foundation of uIntuition. We are able to understand the true problem we are trying to fix because each member of the company has been in the same paradoxical cycle of needing experience to find a job and needing a job to find experience. You have to start somewhere, but that doesn’t always mean that it has to be at the bottom of the food chain. How does a student actually make money while doing something they truly love? Is that even a possibility in today’s competitive employment world- driven by degrees, titles and credentials?

Yes. It is a very viable option for a student who would like to make a little extra spending money or has bills to pay off. uIntuition is a platform that brings talented and driven students together with customers seeking out their expertise in the form of services. Many students struggle with finding a job, and the ones that do usually only get paid minimum wage and do not receive true satisfaction out of their job. That is the problem uIntuition seeks to solve. It is important for us as a company to offer students an opportunity to do whatthey enjoy because we know it’s possible. Talents can range from tutoring a specific subject such as Photoshop in a class or one on one setting, to design, photography, music and DJing. The versatility of the talents we cater to allows for packaged services to our customers. These packages can result in teams of talent, depending on what type of project is being worked on. Team work is an essential skill to have, along with a professional business demeanor, both of which uIntuitionupholds in their student talent. The networking opportunities offered to talent are also amazing and invaluable. The list of benefits is endless.

On the customer’s side, we offer extremely professional services at not-so-professional The talent we hire is so passionate about what they do, that it reflects through their work. It is important to them that the customer is happy with the finished product, whether it is a class or a full marketing package because that just means more opportunities for them, because they are hungry for experience!

Packages can range from logo design, web page design, video animation, and print media all the way to a photography class. The professional quality for the unbeatable price is a perk to many of uIntuition’s current customers.

uIntuition was founded by the two cofounders: Melissa and Mike as a result of knowing each other sincegrade elven. Melissa and Mike worked together and built a strong connection on a business, and friendship level. Our drive and determination brought ustogether and just as importantly, we really got the crux of the career problem that many students experience. I joined the uIntuition executive team shortly after a entrepeneurship conference and realized that all three of us had many things in common; the three underlying fundamentals were drive, commitment and creativity. We built the company from the ground up together. As young entrepreneurs, it would not be right to say there haven’t been learning experiences. When it all comes down to it though, we are all in it to learn, develop and build.
