We arrived at the NIMHANS conference center with our demo equipment, a huge poster we just got printed (for $8!) and new business cards ($8). Quickly set up our booth and were waiting for visitors to come in. Then Vinayak Hegde- the very helpful organizer - comes by at 9.30am and says that we are selected as one of the Top-5 consumer ventures and should now do an on-stage demo.. in an hr! A quick scramble to script it, mirror rehearsal, and I'm all set to go on stage.
A nice introduction, flawless demo (thank you Demo Gods!) and some really good questions followed. Congratulations also to the other ventures that went on stage (Cashnxt, Verismo, SnappyFingers, and EnTrip)!
We got good coverage in the blog world and the best part of Headstart was all the valuable interactions with the visitors. Check out some what the news and blogosphere are saying about us.
