SkyStick aims to connect buyers and sellers of goods and services through an online marketplace. It provides an easy-to-use interface that allows buyers to post what they want to purchase and sellers to list available goods and services. This simplifies the shopping and selling process compared to alternatives like online shops or bulletin boards. The founders have relevant experience and advisors. Financial projections estimate rapid growth and profitability, with over 1 million paid accounts generating $434 million in annual revenue by 2018. An investment of $7.5 million would represent a 15% stake and yield a 72% internal rate of return.
