Cover for eChai Startup Demo Day in Ahmedabad: January Edition

eChai Startup Demo Day in Ahmedabad: January Edition

eChai Demo Days happen every month and are designed as an open house for founders who are actively building product startups.
We usually start with quick introductions so everyone present knows who’s around, and after that the host invites founders from the audience to come up on stage, one at a time, to talk about what they are working on. Founders share their product or venture with their website or live product open on the screen, and explain what they are building in their own words.
Typically, each founder gets a few minutes to walk everyone through their product, followed by some time for questions and feedback from the group. The host decides how much time each founder gets, depending on how many people are sharing and how the conversation is flowing.
If you are actively building a product startup and would like to share what you are working on, you can reach out to [email protected]. In most cases, founders who are actively building do get a chance to come up and share in this open house format.
eChai Startup Demo Days are meant to be relaxed and open, where founders learn in public, get early feedback, and leave with new ideas, connections, and clarity from the community.
