The Baap of all Boot-camps is here!
Continuing their fervor to strengthen the Indian entrepreneurial support system and fund promising start-ups,
Indian Angel Network: India's largest network of angel investors in association with Springboard Ventures - brings to you India's largest and first-ever multi-city series of start-up boot camps to be held across Bangalore, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad and Delhi. IAN Boot-Camps endeavor to bring together some of the most prominent angel investors and mentors and give an opportunity to both emerging as well as established entrepreneurs and startups to pitch for seed-funding as well as learn from series of engaging panel discussions. Further, in order to inspire a start-up culture beyond just the niche social circles and engage a larger community - these boot camps will bring alive several new formats. Indian Angel Network www.indianangelnetwork.com as you may perhaps know, is India's first angel investment network and looks to invest up to US$ 1 mn, though the sweet spot is between US$ 200 to 400K. The Network has met with early successes and has already invested in 25 companies across multiple sectors.
The entries to IAN Boot-Camp will open from 9:00 AM on March 2, 2011 and can be made throughwww.boot-camp.in. Enchristened as 'The Baap of all Bootcamps' - the event is powered bySpringboard Ventures - an emerging start-up enabler which launched MyBplan.in
Announcing the IAN Boot-Camp, Apoorv Sharma of Indian Angel Network said,
" Though we get a large number of start-up deals with us, looking for funding, we thought that a boot camp may be an opportunity to see them from close as well as enabling us to offer them varied kind of support services which we provide to them - primarily through IAN Incubator : an incubator by the Entrepreneurs for the Entrepreneurs www.indianangelnetwork.com/incubator"
Each of the boot-camp will be packed with knowledge-led sessions, including:
IAN Showcase : Featuring some of the successful investee entrepreneurs of IAN and what all they support they received and how to pitch to investors
Ideas Marketplace : Top ten shortlisted ideas from every centre get precisely three minutes to make their elevator pitch to all participants and gain investment from them : though this time in fake fun currency. Top four ideas will get to meet angel investors, get incubated by IAN Incubator and get assistance in business plan by MyBPlan.
The Earthy Entrepreneurs : Special showcase and panel discussion on challenges and funding opportunities for social enterprises
The Early stage Investment saga : Leading entrepreneurs and IAN members come together to discuss the challenges of early stage investments
Start-up Pitch : Shortlisted eight start-up ideas from every centre make detailed presentations to the investor members of IAN. Top two start-ups would then be selected from every centre and compete with others for the grand finale at Delhi
