After a 20ish-year hiatus from entrepreneurship (grateful for the corporate jobs with LinkedIn, HP, GE, and Kearney in between), I am hungry and foolish again, and starting up with my dear friend, Debleena.Our mission is to help small businesses create compelling growth stories by combining the art and science of storytelling, data, and behavioural science. So, we’re building Stotio, a smart tool that can quickly craft compelling narratives using intelligent prompts and GPT (Gen AI). Whether it’s an investment deck, sales-ready documents, brand positioning, or thought leadership, with our proprietary frameworks and AI-powered solution, small businesses can create authentic narratives to raise money, build lasting brands, sell better, and become thought leaders.NB: Happy Holidays! We are co-creating our product with charter customers and expect to have general availability in early 2025. If you'd like to learn more, or join us as an early customer or investor, please DM me.
