The Sky Is the brainchild of two seasoned entrepreneurs, Marianne Bratt Ricketts and Hilde Lise Nordahl. After years of building, scaling, and supporting both early-and late stage companies, most recently through Scalio, we saw one need rise above all others: founders need more than connections; they need access to the right support at each step of their growth journey.

We’ve lived the startup grind, felt the challenges, and shared the highs and lows with countless founders. We’ve seen the struggle for clear guidance, relevant connections, and resources that truly matter. From our own experiences, we know that founding a business can feel isolating and overwhelming, and that navigating this journey without the right support is incredibly challenging.

This understanding is at the heart of The Sky Is. We set out to create a platform that merges smart, AI-driven guidance with a curated network, ensuring that founders receive relevant, timely support exactly when they need it. Every connection, every insight, and every resource on our platform is designed to transform the founder journey from isolating to empowering – making growth smarter, faster, and, ultimately, more resilient.

Together, we’re redefining what’s possible for founders. Because we believe that, with the right support, the sky truly is the limit.
