For Startup Saturday March edition, we are introducing a new concept! We will have an agenda that is totally chosen by you. We have put up a forum where you can suggest and vote for topics to discuss for Open House discussions. The top 3 topics will be discussed for 30 minutes each with a 5 minute break in between. We would love to play around with this concept and are very open to feedback, which you can provide to us by emailing us on kolkata [at] headstart [dot] in.
Mayank has earlier worked with multiple startups, including Slideshare and has worked on his startup Kwippy. Mayank will share with us his observation about how cash-strapped startups spend so much time thinking and planning to make it big, instead of concentrating on making money.
If you have more questions, feel free to buzz, email or tweet us:
"Startup Saturday, I think is the best thing, which has happened to Indian entrepreneurs, because it gives you a lot of open opportunities to discuss your ideas with a lot of experienced people as well as people who are getting into entrepreneurship now, the companies who are transiting from a basic state of business to a successful company!! I hope it soon grows bigger from the 5-6 cities they have already started, to around 40-50 cities."
"I think Startup Saturday is a great forum for budding entrepreneurs & a platform for budding & current entrepreneurs. It's a great way to connect, network, form partnerships & get feedback"
"I found the environment at Startup Saturday to be quite informal (which is very good) and I found a different level of energy among members, which is very important to make entrepreneurship happen in Kolkata.
We were conceptualizing Seeders and crowdsourced the name (i.e. Seeders) and the tag line (i.e. We Seed, you Grow) from the OCC Kolkata community within few minutes. We felt obliged and decided to do our launch at a Startup Saturday event. We got very encouraging response and a fantastic event was put together where Dr. G.D. Gautama kindly came and launched Seeders. The event was a thorough success and the audience was just right.
On behalf of Seeders, I am thankful to HeadStart for creating this platform and I am confident we will work together on several projects in time to come."
