“Nothing is more expensive than a missed opportunity.” – H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
Last month, we flagged off The Junction 2017, Inc42’s first flagship conference to be held on January 12, 2017-January 14, 2017 at the Fairmont, Jaipur.
The next big thing that we are announcing is 42Fellowship – a marathon search for India’s most innovative 42 upcoming pre-growth startups.
42Fellowship is a year-long fellowship program for India’s top growing and upcoming startups with the aim to build a close-knit community who can help each other multiply their impact.
The program will provide recognition & support to these top notch 42 pre-growth stage startups exploring new markets & customers, strategic investments, overall business expansion in India and other network countries and enable peer to peer learning.
The Junction will act as a medium to identify India’s most innovative 42 upcoming & growing startups and bring them together.
Why You Should Apply For 42Fellowship?
For startups, here is one opportunity they would not like to miss. Consider this:
Do you want to showcase your startup in front of the world’s leading investors?
Do you want the most influential CXOs to hear about your product?
