Inc42 Daily Brief
Stay Ahead With Daily News & Analysis on India’s Tech & Startup Economy
Amchi Mumbai!! We are back.
After successfully concluding StartupPulse Delhi 2.0, we are now once again moving on to Mumbai to organise the second edition of StartupPulse Mumbai.
Of the startups, who were part of first three editions, 5 have already raised more than $150K (INR 1 Cr.) in funding and one has been acquired.
Through the StartupPulse series, we are trying to create a support system for startups to get connected and mentored by industry veterans and also to provide them a platform to get introduced to investors.
In order to achieve that, Inc42 is inviting applications for StartupPulse Mumbai 2.0.
The startups can apply here by August 20, 2015.
How It Works?
Out of all the applications received, 15 startups will be shortlisted and will be provided One-on-One mentoring sessions with industry experts from various domains like Design (UI/UX), Sales/Marketing, Technology, Product Management and Fundraising.
Based on mentor feedback, we will shortlist 5 startups who will be further mentored on “How To Pitch”.
These final startups will then get a chance to pitch to a group of investors for funding.
