We meet once a month. At each meeting, one to two attendees pitch their ideas to the group, which provides input/feedback/advice to help refine it.
Ideas at any stage of the development process are welcome. Whether you've identified a problem you want to solve and want help developing a solution; or have the rough outlines of a solution and want advice to fill in the details; or have a detailed idea, even a business plan and perhaps a prototype, and are looking for a willing audience to practice your pitch; or have something in between: you'll fit right in.
Who are we? We are a diverse group - doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, corporate employees and business students - of mostly South Asian heritage, with a mind for business, an interest in social impact, and a love for taking start-up ideas at the intersection of those three areas (South Asia, business, social impact) and helping to turn them into real businesses.
This meet up will be casual and is a safe space to talk about new ideas.
We will give some focused tips and tricks to:
a)Reach your goal full potential,
b)Basics of entrepreneurship and what to consider while starting a small business,
c)Bootstrapping
c)Building Personal Brands and Building Relationships and its effects on small business
Introduction of each member:Each person will begin the introduction with 1-minute introduction and 3 keywords which define him/her towards building his/her own personal brand.We will use life coaching and marketing concepts to build a positive personal brand.
Each meet-up , we try to get a guest lecture from one of our advisors or mentors(advisors are those who already have a startup company or invested in new startups)
Structure of the meet-up:
1.Registration(10 mins)
2.Introduction by each member who attends(30 mins)
3. Speaker -Faizan Diwan on "points to consider while starting your own business" .Faizan has the global experience to work in start-ups in Pakistan,Africa and US.(15 mins)
This time we will not have a pitch like always but will focus on the interaction of new and old members of this community.
You will have an opportunity to meet like-minded aspiring entrepreneurs who are working on their pitches and small businesses.
We will focus on new ideas and promote/support some of them.
Yours can be one of them (if you have any)and this will be a great platform.Message me if you would like to present your idea.
4.Networking and group picture(15 mins)
We love our meet-ups and work very hard to ensure everyone who attends gets some value out of it. We have got very inspiring feedback and that motivates us to always try and improve.
Please come and be a part of the small community where each individual grows and finds an environment with other like-minded people.
Look forward to meeting our old and new members.
