Tech FAQs

  • Why do I need a technology consultant?

    The better question is WHY do you need a technology consultant, not IF. In the words of acclaimed servant leader, James Hunter, “If you’re not green and growing, you’re ripe and rotting.”

    Successful businesses are constantly looking to improve and grow. Unfortunately, the technology space is growing faster than most business can keep up. We help bridge the gap between what is needed, technological capability, and keeping your business flowing with the river…not against it.

  • What types of companies do you work with?

    Our focus at FISHFLi are the industries that we are passionate about - fly fishing and conservation non-profits.
    However, due to our unique knowledge base and approach, our solutions are well suited for companies of any size and structure.

  • Do you offer a free consultation?

    Absolutely! We offer a risk-free, no-cost initial consultation to discover your business, what you’re looking to accomplish, and discuss the ways we can help.
    This is not a sales call. Our goal is to provide full transparency to make sure we’re a good fit. Since we do not bill by-the-hour, pricing will not be part of this discussion. We’re looking to get to know you and your unique business needs. We don’t try to be everything to everyone - if we don’t think we can solve your challenges, we’ll be the first to tell you.
    Much like the bond between an angler and their guide over years of fishing together, our relationship is paramount to our success.

  • What are your terms?

    We offer services on a per-contract basis. Following our risk-free, no-cost consultation, we will provide a full contract with pricing and terms before moving forward.
    We take privacy seriously and do not discuss business with others. However, non-disclosure agreements are available upon request.

  • What are your consultant rates?

    We offer a simple, fixed-price solution for each of our projects. We believe in providing exceptional value and enjoyable experience to our clients and are committed to delivering quality results.

    We provide our clients with a not-to-exceed cost estimate before beginning any work. No one likes surprises - we work with our clients to understand their specific business needs in order to provide a detailed plan of action and associated costs for implementation of the best solutions.

  • How is FISHFLi different than any other technology consultant?

    Simply put… we may not know your specific & unique business needs, but we do know your specific & unique industry.
    With a background in working for destination lodges, years in hospitality, operating guide services and fly fishing outfitters, as well as leading conservation non-profits, we are uniquely poised to offer solutions to the greater outdoor industry. We don’t just enjoy fly fishing and protecting our natural resources, we’ve spent our lives and professional careers living it.

  • Do you work with start-ups?

    100%. If you’re an entrepreneur, new conservation non-profit, or up-and-coming guide/guide service/outfitter in need of defining tech solutions, strategizing your company, or seeking industry expertise, then FISHFLi can offer significant impact to your new business.

  • Do you write business plans?

    No. FISHFLi is dedicated to strategy, technological solutions, and helping your business grow. We can help you define key elements, but your business plan is up to you.

  • Do you utilize artificial intelligence?

    Yes. Big data and machine learning are an important part of our future. Prompt engineering and having a thorough understanding of AI is a growing space and will be a key element in the success of all businesses. Our education also includes AI ethics and sociological impacts of this growing technology. Rest assured, we’ll use the power of AI responsibly to help your business succeed, while maintaining privacy to the fullest extent.
