Talking about the drive behind holding such a unique event, Harvi Sachar, Founder and Chairman of SiliconIndia says, "The number of startups in India has been growing at a phenomenal rate. Unlike the free ecosystem that entrepreneurs enjoy in the U.S., the life of an entrepreneur is very tough here. From reaching out to a VC to gaining a customer, there are no clear channels that an entrepreneur can follow. Startups often have to make use of a third party or middleman who helps them to meet a potential VC. On the contrary, in the U.S. an entrepreneur can easily reach out to a VC through a trusted network of references. This drove us to organize an event such as Startup City, which not only bridges this gap but also provides an open platform for the startups to interact with VCs and look for probable customers. Startup City is a one stop shop for the different needs a startup."
