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.

 

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.

 

These are some synopsis of the day.

 

• 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.

 

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.
