Isaac Lee

Economics student at Irvine Valley College. I do go-to-market work at ZEP, an EdTech company.

Most of my job is outbound. I find schools and organizations that might actually want the product, work out who makes the decision, write the first email, and run the demo if they reply. So far that has meant about 4,000 messages across South Korea, Estonia, Finland and the United States, and roughly 50 meetings. Three Estonian schools are now running pilots, and we've signed partnerships with EdTech organizations in Estonia and Finland.

The part I did not expect to matter most is the follow-up. Almost none of those meetings came from a first email. They came from the second or third.

I also coach tennis, and have for three years, most recently at Newport Beach Tennis Club. I'm looking for a summer 2027 internship in business development, partnerships or research.
