The entrepreneurial journey, given its endless permutations, is different for everybody. Though many roads run parallel, no two are exactly the same. Yet every now and again, they intersect – leading some into the arms of another at just the right moment.

Raj and Gabi’s fates intertwined, by mere happenstance, amid their entrepreneurial pursuits. Both having left behind promising careers, the duo joined forces to begin life anew untethered and unburdened by employment.

On her past as a paid employee, Gabi professed: “I chose something that was the thing I was supposed to do rather than the thing I really wanted to do.”

But launching an online business was not without its challenges.

The name of the game: Enter at your own risk; Success not guaranteed.

So why would two talented people with high-paying, “rockstar” jobs dare to throw it all away on the gamble of starting their own businesses.

We’ll give you a hint: ONTRAPORT may have had something to do with it.
