A few start-up networking events that are a must-attend this month:
Headstart takes off on January 18-20 in Bangalore’s IISc. This is a place to showcase innovation in products and technology. The website promises networking with venture capitalists. Folks such as Ram Shriram from Sherpalo Ventures and Alok Mittal from Canaan Partners are expected to be around.
Proto.in, now the most successful start-up showcase event in the country, stages its next edition on January 18-19. This will probably be Proto.in’s last edition in Chennai for a while. It goes national from here.
BarCamp Ahmedabad comes up on January 19 on-campus at the Indian Institute of Management.
Just thinking, all these events fall on the same dates. Maybe the organizers should get together and plan their calendars to allow start-ups to attend all of them or at least more than one.
Agree. Just couldn’t be helped this time. But the clash of dates between Headstart and Proto has been good actually. It brought out very clearly the differences between the two. Headstart is a complete innovation lifecycle event where Proto is an good place for VCs and start ups to court each other.
