Free Public Roundtables

As part of the 1M/1M initiative, Sramana Mitra offers free online strategy roundtables for entrepreneurs looking to discuss positioning, financing, and other aspects of a startup venture.  Only the first five who register to pitch will be able to present their business ideas.  These roundtables are a public forums and recordings of all sessions are available here. Entrepreneurs who pitch at the roundtables will receive media exposure through the 1M/1M roundtable recap column which is posted on Sramana’s blog and elsewhere. All attendees are able to join in on the conversations via a live chat.

“There are large numbers of people that want to start web-based companies but don’t know where to begin.  Your curriculum should be mandatory.  It has enormous value by itself, but when coupled with the Roundtables and 1M/1M community there is no substitute.” — Dan Stewart, CEO, HappyGrasshopper

Sramana requests that entrepreneurs use the 1M/1M Self-Assessment to help prepare to prepare their pitches. While many entrepreneurs find it difficult to answer all the questions in the CYS framework, we strongly recommend that you address the following items in your roundtable pitch:

1. A validated customer value proposition
2. Detailed segmentation analysis and target customer definition at a fairly granular level
3. A customer acquisition strategy that is pragmatic, and
4. We also recommend that you present a succinct summary of whatever customer validation work you have done.

Your roundtable pitch should be no more than three minutes, and consist of four slides, as suggested above. You can also use the 1M/1M Self Assessment Tool.
