Dear {{Name}},

Greetings !!

Let me first thank you for your continued support

As you know, the Startup India Association team, chaired by Mr Mahendra Swarup, works very hard on publishing our research and setting up partnerships in the Indian startup eco-system. We value your support - please let us know of issues you have with this email.

We wanted to take this opportunity to update you on a few of our initiatives -
  • The team has been following up on the strategic and funding discussions held during events of the Second India Investment Seminar in China. Our delegation included 20 member-startups which gained exposure to some of the leading investors in China. This section talks of some of our key initiatives including the funding raised by Sattviko and Home Capital.
  • Recently we partnered with RaisemyStartup for their Startup Manthan event (grand finale at IIT, Delhi). Looking forward to your support by attending.
  • Applications for the India Portugal Startup Hub are now closed but our community can benefit from similar partnerships with the Bulgaria Startup Association and the L’Occitane accelerator in France. These international partnerships can give access to international markets and opportunities to raise seed funding.
  • Some members of our community have applied for collaborative projects provided by our partner (Collaboration Capital). These projects are with corporations based in France. The updated list of projects is given in our post because this is a valuable tool to develop business and innovative solutions.
  • The team continues publishing on the startup eco-system. We have written some great articles on the IndiaStack, reducing your 'cash burn', how accelerators select startups, the NSE-EMERGE platform and Blockchain Technology. Dont forget our proprietary research is also given there.
  • Our partners are waiting to help you with initiatives like Funding, Procurement and Travel.
The team continues to follow-up on the events and discussions that took place during the Second India Investment Seminar in China. Over 400 people attended the events. Congrats to our 20 member-startups that participated and got an exclusive opportunity to connect with big and small investors in China.

Key initiatives taken up since then -
We are an ecosystem partner for the grand finale of Startup Manthan. Our friends at RaiseMyStartup are hosting the Startup Manthan event as a hunt across India for the next big idea with a goal to boost market visibility for the most promising and early-stage startups. The event is supported by Startup India in association with Confederation of Indian Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises & Peopleist India.

We look forward to your support by attending. As a member of our network you are eligible for a 25% discount on your registration fee @ https://goo.gl/xD96cL
Projects in collaboration with French Corporations

Startup India Association and Collaboration Capital have partnered for projects where our community collaborates with corporations based in France (many are MNCs). Look at our post for details

The list of projects have been updated. Please let us know if interested.

Their application is pretty simple - section on venture's key skills and an optional section on your suggestions for this project - optional but I recommend this section be filled because lots of successful applications have it.

Another piece of good news - these projects are free for startups/small businesses.
