A Babysitter for Startups

With hundreds of startups mushrooming every day and a million entrepreneurs chasing their dreams it is time they found a Babysitter.

Startups are like small babies and need a watchful and experienced eye to make sure they are not suffering from fatigue and are well cared for, their business model has to be doable and they need enough funds to grow and the team needs to be kept intact as they mature into an enterprise.

Startups investors namely the Angel investors and VC's may want to appoint babysitters to make sure that their investments in the startup are progressing in the right direction and the startup team is on track.

There is no purpose for investors stepping in late in the investment cycle and sacking the CEO and taking it to press since this will not bring back the losses and rather it paints the investors ability to manage funds in poor light.
