To create a strong and trusting bond with our customers. By listening to what they want from us will allow us to provide consistent and superior customer service.

GreyLit is a late stage start-up that has been bootstrapped by the Founder. We are now looking for fuel. We are ready to bring on some Angel investment, and we know they are out there, we just need help finding them
