Inc42 Daily Brief
Stay Ahead With Daily News & Analysis on India’s Tech & Startup Economy
The third edition of StartupPulse is ready to rock on in the hearts of India’s Silicon Valley. With awesome response in Delhi and Mumbai, StartupPulse will be in Bangalore on 13 May 2015.
StartupPulse’s Bangalore expedition will also be on the same lines of Mumbai and Delhi, i.e. selecting the top five startups after providing them with one-on-one mentorship and access to UI/UX, Marketing, Tech, Sales, Fundraising and Pitching domain experts. The last date to apply is 7th May.
How It Works?
Moving away from the generic “gyaan” which is quite common in the ecosystem these days, 15 startups will be chosen from the applications that we will receive. These 15 shortlisted startups will be mentored on various aspects like Design (UI/UX), Sales/Marketing, Technology, Product Management and Fundraising from various industry experts.
All the startups will also get a special one to one session on how to pitch in front of investors from communication experts.
On the next day, selected startups will pitch in front of a jury of lead angels, investors, accelerator heads and industry veterans and will get an opportunity to get on the spot funding.
