FLOPTCH
Day-long deal flows, startup exhibition and panels
Time: 9AM TO 5PM
Venue: Taal Kutir | Grand Terrace
FloPtch is East India’s biggest ever Confluence of new age disruption, under the banner of “Make Calcutta Relevant Again” and co-organised by Freeflow Ventures, Velocity1, Founders Circle and Startup India | Invest India, with Startups, Corporates, Investors, Creators, Enablers and most importantly the Customers joining in for what promises to be the country’s first tryst with the “ComMan Pitches”.
A first of a kind approach on defining new baselines to Startup raise, their validation of businesses and eventual promise of scale, sustainability and growth via the lens of the most critical cog in the wheel - “Customers”. Come, experience the power of “people-first” platforms, products and policies that define disruptions by raking up a storm of convergent continuity for the India Startup Story from the Ghats of Calcutta.
Startups get a golden opportunity to pitch to 100 investors for raising funds and 100 consumer profiles for customer validation pitching across 10 tracks, raising capital from 25L to 80Cr INR.
