Proto.in February 18, 2007
Posted by Pallav Sharda in : Organizations, Technology , trackbackProto.in is about Indian startups. It is the newly started event organized for startups to showcase their products and technologies. There is no final award/prize to be won (it’s not a competition, it’s a platform for display); the love and attention of media and VC’s is probably a reward in itself 
…
The first Proto was held in January this year with select 27 companies, and there are already talks of another in works. From what I could gather, companies needed to pay Rs.500 and investors Rs.25,000 for participating in it. Each company had 8-10 minutes for presenting their stuff, which surprises me- all that hoopla for 10 minutes each?
Proto is probably modeled after Demo (which has been around for last 16 years in US, basically the same theme) and is definitely a great step towards formalizing Indian startups scene.
