HeadStart in a Nutshell ...
Had a very busy and Entrepreneurial Friday as well as weekend !!!.There was an interesting Entrepreneurship event at 'Indian Institute Of Science,Bangalore' namely HeadStart.Though the dates of HeadStart and Proto overlapped with each other, there was quite a decent crowd and a great Panel [which included Entrepreneurs as well as VCs].Hats of to the organizers of the event !!!
Though, I could not blog the event live, there were certain very interesting topics , some of which I have recorded on my PMP
and are given below:Ram Shriram , Founder of Sherpalo Ventures:
Ram Shriram expressed his views on Internet and the changing scene of Internet. He also touched upon Mobile v/s internet and why the mobile market is so hot in India
He was on a webcast from his Menlo Park office and it was a great privilege to listen to this initial investor in Google...

Srini Vudayagiri , MD of LightSpeed Ventures:
Srini Vudayagiri gave a very interesting presentation on Identifying and validating business opportunities. His presentation covered on all aspects of Opportunity, right from Ideation to Delivery. It also gave a lot of insight into how VC's fund, how they are
and some of the other aspects of VC funding !!!The most interesting question that he asked the audience was "Which is the largest VC firm in the world".....and guess what, the answer is Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE)
|
Ganapathy Subramanium, Ex VC & founder of MyDuniya:
Ganapathy Subramanium, founder of startup MyDuniya and an ex VC with ICICI ventures and JumpStartup, gave an interesting session on Startup Funding.The most interesting statement which he made during his entire session was : "There are 3 kinds of people who would fund your business at a very early stage namely 3F's [Friends , Family, Fools]" .... So, is he referring Angel Investors/Seed Investors as Fools
Enjoy the complete session below...

Bangalore is now synonymous to the world's buzz word ENTREPRENEURS.I agree to what you say.. Now a days, another trend of angel investment, seed-funding etc has increased all such activities of entrepreneurs. Firms like Pitchindia (http://www.pitchindia.com) and a few more are working for the same...
