Rise above turbulence; Fly faster; Minimize burn-rate
StartoSphere
 We think of a startup as a take-off of a jetliner
 Huge gravitational pull to overcome
 Thick atmosphere, winds, clouds resist your progress
 Mountains and skyscrapers can get in the way
 The Jetliner takes off due to your passion and energy
 But quite often,
 You burn more energy to overcome resistance than you should/have
 You slow down due to to the drag
 You face turbulence due to strong winds, clouds, air-streams
 You have increased risk of collision
 And you are so absorbed in the take-off, you may not have a flight plan!
(Remember Wright Brothers? Flight itself was the plan!)
 Solution?
 Move quickly to the stratosphere where you
 Rise above turbulence
 Fly faster &
 Minimize burn-rate
 Now, the flying is assured, and you can focus on the destination
 We call this zone the StartoSphere and help you get there quicker
