Our product

12-20.com — Pre-Head Damage

A workspace for prospective PhD applicants. Find supervisors from public research records, tailor your CV in three places, check every email before you send it from your own mailbox, and keep follow-ups on time.

  1. Read the public recordSearch by topic. Each line on a supervisor's card has a source, a date and the original wording, from OpenAlex, Crossref and Semantic Scholar. No scores, no rankings.
  2. Change three slotsOne base CV. For each supervisor only the one-line interest, the order of experience and five selected outputs change.
  3. Trace every claimEvery claim in an email has to point at a fact of yours or a cited paper. Names, domain, attachment and pace are checked before you can copy it.
  4. Send it yourself12-20 never sends for you. You get the text, a mailto link and an .eml draft, and paste replies back to track follow-ups.

Case study

K2 2027: a complete fundraising and sponsorship kit for a record-setting mountaineer

The client. Phunjo Jhangmu Lama is a Nepali mountaineer and Guinness World Records holder. On 23 May 2024 she reached the summit of Everest in 14 hours 31 minutes, the fastest ascent by a woman. She is Nepal's first female helicopter long-line rescue climber, and climbed Cho Oyu without supplementary oxygen. In 2019 she turned back from K2's Bottleneck, at about 8,200 m, in severe weather. She is now preparing to return in 2027.

The challenge. An expedition like K2 needs serious funding and brand partners. Her record was already world class; what she needed was a clear way to present it, and a plan she and her helpers could run themselves.

What we delivered. A master guide plus nine step-by-step guides — about 136 pages:

  • Preparation checklist
  • Instagram guide
  • Cross-platform guide
  • Content calendar
  • Landing page guide
  • Fundraising guide, with three campaign stories
  • Press kit guide
  • Sponsor deck guide
  • Sponsor outreach guide: 4 email templates, 40+ target brands

Services used: fundraising strategy, sponsorship proposals, social media planning, landing page planning, press kit, information design.

Biography details: her CV, and press coverage of the 2024 Everest ascent.

Diagram from the guide: one 60-second training video becomes posts for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and Facebook. Diagram from the guide: the Instagram bio link leads to one landing page, which routes to GoFundMe, Patreon, newsletter, YouTube, TikTok and media coverage.
