Your branding is absolutely begging for a trademark dispute. Rethink that before attempting any sort of growth or your startup funding will be consumed by lawyers.
It's a double hit. Google, of course, and the newish search engine You.com

#12While "Changing the world" and "Making the world a better place" are core goals of those of us working with technology, it feels as if these phrases have been abused to the point where everyone just rolls their eyes when they hear them.

I don't remember "changing the world" being mocked in HBO's Silicon Valley and not seeing a mention of the "Making the world a better place" in the OP?
