They're looking for innovative entrepreneurs with an idea - a great idea - who have started to gather a team, develop a plan, and design the defensible technology to bring the idea to fruition.

Building a business can be a rugged experience. Young companies face numerous challenges as they seek to grow and gain traction. For Founder leaders it is invaluable to have an experienced sherpa guide to share the load and make success come a little easier, perhaps a little faster and with fewer mistakes.

They've done this before at Netscape, Amazon, and Google - some of the foremost online companies of the decade. Ram Shriram and Sherpalo can help guide your enterprise to the summit by providing assistance in; a) Identifying and hiring key management personnel; b) Making the right product choices; c) Defining and adapting your business model to changing market conditions; d) Identifying appropriate market entry points; e) Helping you to secure early customer wins; f) Building momentum from a standing start; g) Generating international growth; h) Providing an independent and pragmatic voice of reason and making necessary judgment calls when you don't have all the facts.

Sherpalo works with only a few outstanding teams each year, in order to devote the time, energy and resources required to guide a fledgling company to the summit of business success.
