Why
Our ideas started forming after the Covid unemployment rollercoaster, the Big Resignation, and the Big Tech layoffs. After the historic jump in annual new business applications (2x the historic average), we asked ourselves:
What are people going to do next?
How many will become entrepreneurs for the first time in their lives?
Do they know how to navigate the self-employment and the startup world.
This is hard. For many individuals this change is gut-wrenching. We still don’t know how many founders become entrepreneurs out of necessity, and how many take the risks on a new venture to adopt a new way of living. Either way, we’re motivated by helping founders achieve the full potential of their ideas without succumbing to the avoidable mistakes that lead to frighteningly high startup failure rates.
You are building a business not just a product.
It’s a long, hard road
