Personally I must say Startup City event is a success. It is a win-win proposition for visitors and also for companies who booked for a stall. Regarding VC pitch I don’t think it is a success because for CEO – VC breakfast & lunch organizers promised 2 VC’s per table but I didn’t see much VC’s sitting there and also for presentation there were eight rooms where in they have sent 4 VC’s per room and in our case there were 4 VC’s but only three companies because two VC’s representing the same company.
Â
Organizers were grateful enough to allow us to present CCS in the stall and give presentation about CT to VC’s. But I’m not happy with the way I gave the presentation. I know I must go a log way when it comes to public speeches.
Â
These are some synopsis of the day.
Â
- Reached the venue by 8.30 AM
- Missed VC – CEO breakfast.
- Was in stall explain our services to the visitors
- Met some twitter mates and friends.
- Networked with fellow stall owners
- Networked with some visitors who wanted to create a long term relationship.
- Went to CEO – VC lunch and found no VC’s fortunate to have Satya of LeadSimplified for company.
- Then presented about CT for VC pitch by 2 o clock.
- Then I went and crashed to sleep in the car as I didn’t sleep the whole night. Courtesy to Bangalore weather coz sleeping inside a car is impossible in Chennai.
- Then folks came back by 6.30 PM
- We went to Aditi Residency in Arekere for dinner.
- I ate like a mad guy as I’ve that hungry.
- In fact I ate 80% of the starters.
- Then we all came home and crashed to sleep immediately.
Â
Over all it was a fulfilling day where in we spoke to 100’s visitors and many showed interest in our service. We distributed 1000+ brouchers and collected 200+ business cards. We did our bit of work and must see how far it converts to business.
