Every entrepreneur needs a pitch to roll out their startups to a wider audience, raise funds from VCs and collaborate with their entrepreneurial community. So the long time thirst is now getting quenched by this common platform called proto.in where entrepreneurs, innovators get help from this community to overcome their bootstrapping struggles and to get access to VCs, mentorship & Media attention.
I vaguely remember the proto.in started around ‘07 and the growth is phenomenal, so many startups are coming to the events in various hi-tech cities in India to broadcast their products ranging from cleantech, biotech, web 2.0 sites, mobile and more! This is the good place for you to meet Angel investors (you just got an idea and want to develop). Otherwise if your product is already designed and live, you can always meet Venture capitalists and discuss about next round of fundings. proto.in community got very good tieup with investors, some of the investment companies include here,
I really got impressed by the Team proto.in, they have good mix of people from technologists, media columnists, famous bloggers like Kiruba Shankar (kiruba.com) and venture capitalists. And apart from this, they have band of advisors or mentors who helps the organization to better understand & realize about the market. NASSCOM, TiE supports proto.in in all possible ways.
Having said all this, what can I get out of proto.in. Following are the questions, you will get answered here in proto.in
1. Are you an entrepreneur looking for a pitch to sell your idea/product for more funding?
2. Do you need mentorship or technology or any kind of assistance for that matter to take your product to next level?
3. Are you a product based company and not a services based? proto.in is going to like you more, you can also attend!
4. Are you looking for a showcase or exhibition with your target audience?
If you want you to nominate for proto.in and attend this event, goto nominate.proto.in & submit your profile. The next proto.in edition is likely to happen in Pune. So far proto.in has conducted 6 editions includes Chennai & Bangalore.
The other interesting part of proto.in community is, they always believe in unconferences & collaborating. So they organize the event called “The Startup Chat” which happens every Saturday, 10am-5pm IST.
