Inc42 Daily Brief
Stay Ahead With Daily News & Analysis on India’s Tech & Startup Economy
Get set for the amalgamation of Entrepreneurs + Investors + CXO’s + Executives + Curated Startups + Food + Drinks + Music – All on the house at a rocking club
Giving a new definition to networking and interactions, we announced Pulse42 earlier this week, with the sole motive of providing a platform for networking and bringing together the who’s who of tech together in a chilled out and social environment.
In order to make the event a learning experience for startups and to choose the best startups, we are announcing StartupPulse.
While there are a number of events that focus on sharing general startup “gyaan” or startups that already have good visibility and traction, there is a big need for a support system for early stage startups that works not only during the event but also post event. We have worked with early stage startups long enough to understand what issues they face and what tangible value they seek from startup events, partners and accelerators.
A day before each Pulse42 party, 15 startups will be chosen from the applications who will be mentored by various industry experts and will be guided on how to take their startup forward. They will be mentored on various aspects like Design (UI/UX), Sales/Marketing, Technology, Product Management and Fundraising from various industry experts and who will give valuable one-on-one mentorship throughout the day.
At the end of the day, the 15 startups will pitch to a jury of investors, accelerator heads and industry veterans who will be selecting 5 startups for the main pitching to be held in the party on the next day to the who’s who of the tech world.
So What Do You Get From StartupPulse?
- World class personalized one on one mentoring from the best of the best in the industry!
