ABOUT:

Launching a startup can feel like an extremely overwhelming feat. There are so many different factors that a founder must consider. For example, How do I raise money from investors? How do I incorporate my company? How do I streamline sales processes? How do I create three to five-year financial projections? 

Startup Assistant helps founders launch, grow, & measure their startup at all stages of the startup journey.
