About Me
Hi–I’m Satyajit Rout. I help organizations, founders, and high-potential managers have a deeper impact by improving the quality of their decision-making. Becoming a better decision-maker at work seeps into all areas of life. My clients benefit from such osmosis.
Over the last decade, I’ve spent years evaluating several early-stage startups in the science communication space for investment, one of which was a Toronto-based startup called Sciencescape [Trivia: the startup was later acquired by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and was renamed Meta. You know the rest of the story].
In 2017, I started pitching video summaries of published research papers to publishers. This idea grew to include infographics and lay summaries, and soon turned into a new product line that I helped build from 0 to 1 over the next two years.
