A step-by-step course for working professionals who are done dreaming about quitting — and ready to do it with a financial runway, a validated idea, and their family on board.

Most professionals don't fail at entrepreneurship
because they lack talent or drive.
They fail because they quit impulsively —
without a runway, without a validated idea,
and without their family behind them.
This course is the plan they never had.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
What is the course offered by Escape Velocity?
Escape Velocity is a 12-week course (currently in development) and a set of free tools that help working professionals quit their job and start a business the safe way — with a financial runway, a validated idea, and their family on board.
Who is the Escape Velocity course for?
It is for salaried professionals who are seriously planning to leave employment to start a business — not for people who just want motivation. If you carry responsibilities like a home loan, dependent parents, or children's education, the course is designed around exactly those constraints.
How long is the course?
The course runs over 12 weeks and takes you step by step from employed professional to first-time founder — covering financial runway, idea validation, and getting your family on board before you quit.
Are the tools free?
Yes. The Entrepreneurial Readiness Assessment and the Financial Runway Calculator are completely free. The course itself is paid and currently open for waitlist.
How do I know if I'm ready to quit my job and start a business?
Readiness isn't a gut feeling — it spans five dimensions: financial, skill, emotional, idea, and family. Our free Entrepreneurial Readiness Assessment scores you across all five in about five minutes so you know exactly what to fix first.
How much money do I need before quitting my job?
Enough to cover your full monthly burn — not just living expenses but EMIs, dependent care, insurance, children's education, and business expenses — for as long as it takes your business to reach break-even, plus a buffer. The free Financial Runway Calculator works out your real runway in months.
