The one hour evening session is a platform to listen and interact with entrepreneurs, investors, mentors and industry experts as they share their insights on the startup ecosystem in India.<\/p>\n

The commencement session of \u2018Friday\u2019s<\/span>@Startup Foundry\u2019, was conducted by\u00a0Mr. Nao Murakami – Partner at Incubate Fund India (The Largest Seed Focused VC in Japan)<\/strong>\u00a0who shed some light on the topic \u201cWhat do Investors look at while funding a startup\u201d . He said, \u201c There are three important questions that every investor looks at before investing- first, is the idea strong enough to make the customers pay for it? Second, is the market big enough for the solution that the idea is offering and third and most importantly, how committed is the founder; unless he puts in his all, no investor will trust him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Varun Akhnoor, Chief Incubation Officer, Startup Foundry, IFIM Business School said,\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cBusiness Schools are cultivators and motivators of entrepreneurship. It forms a base for budding ideators to find a firm ground and grow at a swift rate. There is an immense talent pool and networking with fellow ideators and potential mentors would only lead to an upward climb.\u201d<\/p>\n

Attending the session was\u00a0Mr. Sanjay Padode, Secretary, Center for Developmental Education (IFIM Institutions).\u00a0<\/strong>Sharing his views on this initiative, he said, \u201cAs India reaches the doorstep of becoming one of the youngest countries of the world, entrepreneurship is a platform that will redefine the youth of this country. Bangalore is the pivot of startups in India and Electronic City, a major area of business. Hence, we plan to become the first incubator in Electronic City to give shape to fresh ideas.\u201d<\/p>\n

Several areas in Bangalore like Koramangala, HSR and Indiranagar are startup hubs. IFIM envisions Electronic City too to be a part of this ever growing start up city.<\/p>\n
