Startup Saturdays are a great way for entrepreneurs to meet with a closed door audience who can help with feedback, introductions and advice. Held every Second Saturday of every month, Startup Saturdays are attended by KickStart’s advisory board comprised of eminent entrepreneurs, technologists, product marketers and managers. You need to get in touch with KickStart well in advance to present at a Startup Saturday event so that your objectives and pain points are understood well in advance to get in the best people who can help you in your situation.

Get in touch with Kickstart’s (www.kickstart.in) Suresh Bhagavatula at sbhagavatula@gmail.com to attend the next Startup Saturday.

We had 4 verticals were we recieved nominations and the demos followed for the same.

Apart from regular geek stuff, what I saw was the spark in each and every innovator at HeadStart. Participants, Demoes, Panelists all were charged up to impact the ecosystem.

I personally loved the panel discussions and workshops. There was a panel discussion after each of the set of 5 demos. The industry experts interacted with the audience. They candidly answered all questions, queries, concerns from the enthusiastic crowd. We were actually overtime on all the panel interactions and had to cut them off and take them offline as usual!

A lot of networking and discussions happened over lunch, tea, dinner, VC connect and any time in between. KickStart also started the friends-of-kickstart@googlegroups.com so that interested folks can join in and contribute in every bit possible.

So do drop a mail at friends-of-kickstart@googlegroups.com

Stay tuned for more. Do check for live updates at www.blog.headstart.in

KickStart also aims to do a lot more: There are Startup Saturdays coming up, a good initiative for the student community, a resource sharing community and lots more.

Get Started!!
