(Posted at 3:18 pm)Startup Lunch - This Friday!
Ever experienced Speed Dating?
As finding friends/partners is to Speed Dating, finding investors/future-employees is to Startup Lunch.
Startup Lunch is an initiative on the lines of (and by) Proto.in and in concept, is very similar to speed dating.
The startup founders are seated on one side and the candidates get to say hello and have a quick conversation to talk about what the background of the founder is, why he started the company and what sort of person he is looking for, while asking questions to the candidate about the reason to join a startup and what his/her passions are and ten minutes later the same process continues with the next founder. Within an hour, you would have met/spoken to most of the startups, and by the end of the day would know whom to get in touch with for your first/next job.
The event, at present is organized across India - in Bangalore, Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi, Pune and Hyderabad.
Luckily, Pune’t meet has been clubbed with Open Coffee Club Meet. More details about the startup lunch are here
Its an unique opportunity for me - I’ve never met another budding entrepreneur in person - specially when he/she has a business plan in his/her hands. It would be awesome to see what all my peer fellas are upto. And specially important to see how ApnaBill.com is received amongst them.
Oh yes, I’ll be giving a short intro about ApnaBill.com at the Startup Lunch. More about it later…
Can’t really wait till Friday! Can you? 
Way to go bro’
All the very best for your meet.
