Startups : File your nomination for Proto’s upcoming sixth edition at Pune

Proto’s sixth edition is happening soon. If you are a budding startup and wanting to hit it bigtime, this could be the best chances the Indian tech startup ecosystem has to offer. Head here to file your nomination, which ends June 15th.

This Proto is being held at Pune on July 25th. The venue is the Devang Mehta Auditorium at Persistent Systems. This is the first time the event is vising Western India. Previous editions have been held at Chennai, Delhi & Bangalore.

Whats different with proto this time around? For starters, this is a one day event with the proceedings being split into two moods. The first half of the day (actually till afternoon) will carry talks, sessions and interactive sessions. The “real” thing starts in the evening at 5 pm with the 20 startups showcasing in a rapidfire mode. The team is working hard to jazz up the show and make it more spectacular (think Oscars!).

For the presenting companies, there will be a three day preparatory bootcamp. Day 1 will focus on finetuning the business plan with industry experts; day 2 is grooming up for the pitch delivery while day 3 is the showcase itself.

You can expect a good gathering of startups entrepreneurs, tech enthusiaists, entrepreneurs, media/bloggers, investors etc. Companies on being shortlisted for selection, have a Rs. 10,000 fee applicable. Nomination is free.
