Activities
• Startup & Industry Connects.• Startup & Investor, Accelerator Connects.• Events for,– Startups show case their inventions.– Share and learn technology-centric innovation.– Learn the basics of creating a company.– Networking online and offline.– Hackathons.– Movies, Football, Fun!
Where do we Stand (2012)?
• 40 to 100 attendees for every event.• Adding 50 to 100 new free registrations across
online forums.• 8,000+ unique visitors per month to
punestartups.org.
• We’ve never been stronger and we’re growing well!
Where could we do better?
• We need to do a better job of engaging startups as they grow.– We’ve got new ideas on how we can do this and
need coordinators to take this forward.
• We don’t have 12 regular events in the year.– A single event coordinator cannot take on a
complete annual event calendar.
My Point …
We’re still missing YOU!
– NONE OF US IS AS STRONG AS ALL OF US.
– We’ve made it effortless for you to setup a startup meet and draw an audience.
