Roundtable Recap: November 8 – Never Too Old To Startup

During this week’s roundtable, we worked with four entrepreneurs, two of whom are premium members of the 1M/1M program. One of them, John Lynch, is our oldest member. At 90, John is doing a startup company in the area of innovative story-telling and legacy preservation for seniors. I hope that all of us would have the stamina and mental agility to do new startups at ninety years old! You are an inspiration, John …

Switch Idea
First, Niranjan Yadav from Mumbai, India, pitched Switch Idea, a social recruitment application that creates profiles of job seekers from their social media accounts, and directs employers to those profiles based on criteria matching. The profiles – virtual cards – that Switch Idea creates become significant traffic drivers, and as Niranjan claims, attract more traffic than the jobseeker’s personal web site. Niranjan is under the impression that his immediate next step is to file for a patent. My read: he should incorporate the company and start monetizing. He has about 100 employers on the site, and should start charging them as soon as possible. Seed funding would be much easier to attract if he has a business that is validated by paying customers.

Roundtable Recap: Kolkata MUST Clinch This Time

I have been trying to get entrepreneurship development in Kolkata moving since 1995, when I started my own entrepreneurial career. At the time, I was one of the first to set up a Silicon Valley startup with a development back-end in Kolkata. The environment was hard. The infrastructure was poor. Now, all that has changed. Infrastructure is as good as anywhere else. Last night’s Kolkata 1M/1M pitch fest was attended by a couple of hundred entrepreneurs who came not only from Kolkata, but also from surrounding areas like IIT Kharagpur, Durgapur, Ranigunj, etc. It felt good to see the momentum and the energy level. Things are definitely improving in Bengal.
