Our process
At Sarthy, we are passionate about supporting founders to get the right investment to fulfill their vision. We have 50+ years of corporate strategy experience with 15+ years of startup business strategy and investment experience. Because of this, we are in a unique position to guide startups. We have also built strong relationships with VCs, Family offices, Angel NWs, and other investors.
Deliberated Strategy Approach
We believe Startup failure happens due to poor choices. Poor choices at one stage manifest as problems at later stages. Smaller errors at earlier stages can have a far-reaching impact later. That is why it is crucial to focus on controlling the trajectory right from the start. We work stage by stage with startups:
Stage 1: Value Proposition
Stage 2: Business Plan and Business Model
Stage 3: Investor Pitch and Financial Model
It is necessary to build the foundation in one stage and then move on to the next stage without prematurely rushing the same.
Design thinking based experiments
In the post-Covid world, there are a lot of unknown problems which need to be studied and unknown solutions which need to be prototyped with an Experimental Discovery-based game plan.
We’ve built a unique Design thinking based methodology to jointly build this game plan
