The fundamental idea is to have all parts of the innovation ecosystem interact with each other with high frequency and through rich conversation. We strongly believe that this would lead to faster evolution of the entire ecosystem.

What should you expect at a Startup Saturday

Expect a Startup Saturday every second Saturday of the month. Expect to spend three to four hours spread across at least two interactive sessions and networking.

If you are an entrepreneur giving the demo, expect this session to be very interactive. Expect a lot of "whys" and "why nots" - a great way to refine the product and to figure out the areas which need more work and also the areas that are well covered. If you're a participant, expect a window into another business that can give you ideas about your own business or insights into how to design your product. Expect a lot of debate where your question to the speaker may actually get answered/countered by another participant! In short, look out for a brain tickling discussion.

We try to have one expert session. This is usually on a skill that is needed by an entrepreneur - sales, marketing, product management, VC pitch, VC management, PR, hiring people etc. It can even be a talk about a product/services that cannot be demoed. This is usually done by someone who has hands on experience and insights. Again expect this to be highly interactive.

Lastly, you've an opportunity to meet everyone else to network from 5pm to 6pm.

Registration will be opening on November 9th.
