Opportunities for Networking

Are there opportunities for networking with other founders, alumni, or potential collaborators?

Yes, 1Mby1M offers various opportunities for networking with other founders, alumni, and potential collaborators, primarily through its community-driven, virtual model:

1. Private Roundtable Sessions: While these are mentoring sessions led by Sramana Mitra, they are also a key networking opportunity.Other Premium members are present, listening to pitches and discussions. This provides a direct avenue to:
   • Identify potential collaborators: You might hear another founder presenting a solution or facing a challenge that aligns with your own.
   • Learn from a diverse group: The global reach of 1Mby1M means you’ll encounter founders from various industries and geographies, broadening your perspective and potential connections.
2. Investor and Influencer Network: 1Mby1M offers:
   • Investor Introductions: While not direct peer networking, this connects you with potential financial collaborators.
   • Influencer Marketing: This service aims to connect you with relevant influencers and media, which can lead to broader networking opportunities and exposure.
   • Global Network of “Investors, Executives, Successful Entrepreneurs, Influencers, Media, Analysts, Thought Leaders.” This robust network is a core part of 1Mby1M’s value proposition.
3. Content and Events (Beyond Roundtables):
   • Blog/Podcasts/Webinars: Sramana Mitra frequently publishes content and hosts webinars that attract a wide entrepreneurial audience. While not exclusive to Premium members, engaging with these public resources can sometimes lead to connections or provide insights into who else is part of the broader 1Mby1M ecosystem.
   • While 1Mby1M is primarily virtual, Sramana Mitra occasionally participates in or hosts public events which include an investor and entrepreneur pitches.These can also offer incidental networking if you attend.
