Every intern here is a tern.
Tern helps young founders take their startups to market in the U.S. and beyond. The work is done by our interns: fresh graduates, young founders' own age, who take complete ownership of sales, marketing and go-to-market enablement, guided by a leadership team with three decades of experience.
Named for the longest journey on earth.
The Arctic tern makes the longest migration of any animal: roughly 70,000 km a year, from the Arctic to Antarctica and back. It follows the sun, so it lives in almost constant daylight.
That is the work: carrying a founder's story 8,000 miles so it lands with the people it was meant for. And there is a tern inside every intern: young people who travel that distance for their clients without ever leaving home.
Wayfinders for creativity, commerce & community.
We help startup founders go to market in the U.S. with the Flight Path Method, our phase-zero strategy, then carry it out through seven service pillars, guided by our Five Flock Principles and three decades of experience.
Terns own the work. Leaders stand behind them.
Each Tern owns a founder's go-to-market end to end, working shoulder to shoulder with people who have done it before.

Content, social, search, AI answer engines and campaigns, owned by the Terns.
