Event Details:

UpStart Ahmedabad - Bootstrapping to Success.
Hosted by PayUmoney. Ecosystem Partner #Innocity by Centre for Innovation Incubation and Entrepreneurship, IIM Ahmedabad. Outreach Partners 10000 Startups and eChai.

You have an idea, maybe a prototype, and are willing to put in plenty of sweat equity but you need capital. Raising capital is one of the most difficult challenges that a company can undertake. Angel Investors or VC typically will not fund an idea, let alone one from an unproven first-time entrepreneur, considering all of the other investment opportunities available to them. Additionally, outside investors might want to exercise more control than the company's founders prefer. Many of the most successful entrepreneurs did not launch their business with outside funding. They bootstrapped their company from an idea into a scalable business. Bootstrapping usually refers to a self-starting process that is supposed to proceed without external input. Bootstrap is a situation in which an Entrepreneur starts a company with little capital. An individual is said to be boot strapping when he or she attempts to found and build a company from personal finances or from the operating revenues of the new company.
