Apart from this, startups looking for financial support can have one on one meeting with the venture capitalists. Talking about the drive behind holding such a unique event, Harvi Sachar, Founder and CEO of siliconindia said, "Despite recession, the number of startups in India has been growing at a phenomenal rate. Unlike the free ecosystem that entrepreneurs enjoy in the U.S., the life of an entrepreneur is very tough here. From reaching out to a VC to gaining a customer, there are no clear channels that an entrepreneur can follow. Startups often have to make use of a third party or middleman who helps them to meet a potential VC. On the contrary, in the U.S. an entrepreneur can easily reach out to a VC through a trusted network of references. This drove us to organize an event such as Startup City, which not only bridges this gap but also provides an open platform for the startups to interact with VCs and look for probable customers. Siliconindia Startup City is a one stop shop for the different needs of a startup." After the resounding success of its earlier two editions in May 2008 and June 2009 in Bangalore, the third edition of the Startup City event will see numerous innovative startups from a varied range of business domains such as software, services, Internet, mobile, healthcare, education, embedded, wireless and more. Also present at the event will be multinationals such as Sun Microsystems, Rediff.com and Syntel who have partnered to support the participating companies under their startup programs. TIME: 8.45 AM to 4.30 PM WHEN: Saturday, September 12, 2009 WHERE: Hotel Rangsharda, Bandra (West), Mumbai To attend this event, register FREE at https://www.siliconindia.com/startupcity_mumbai/index.php"
