From the HeadStart Alumni Here are some of the Headstart Alumni from the previous editions of the event:
"In its inaugural event, itself, of Headstart, which happened in January 2008, we got a chance to show case our travel product in the Internet/Consumer-services category. The sincerity and enthusiasm with which the HeadStart core team organized the event was the standout point of this event. They did so many things right in the first attempt: Co-hosting it with ACM event, which gave HS much more credibility right in the beginning. Managing to get big corporate sponsors like Infosys, Accenture, IBM and others Experts from the Industry as panelists. Also a host of VCs (although have my own reservations on the VC scene and intent in India) Good venue - IISc Good audience I would not hesitate to recommend any Tech Startup to vie for their attention! It will only help positively. Keep it up guys!" Khushnood Naqvi 90di	"We found the event to be a great success for us, the quality of people, ideas, conversations and connections we made with interesting Beta evaluators was phenomenal… I must say cheers & congratulations to the entire HeadStart team, they are to us the true Innovation catalyst of the Indian Product & Innovation Ecosystem." Sunny Ghosh Wolf Frameworks "Participating at Headstart 2009 really helped Indusgeeks gain greater visibility with external stakeholders like clients and investment firms. We also gained a lot of insight into the emerging trends and strategies to follow at the event which helped us navigate a difficult year. For new startups seeking to gain visibility and traction Headstart is a good place to be." Siddharth Banerjee Indusgeeks	Recently, Qualcomm bought Mango Technologies' handset user interface software. This was followed by Ojas Venture Partners exiting the company. Mango Technologies has earlier presented at HeadStart. News Report "The Headstart event helped us establish our brand by getting featured on major Indian and International media's and blogs like NewYork Times and Readwriteweb. We also got two important business leads. Apart from all this, the Headstart platform helped us get introduced to major VCs and professionals in the industry and the demo-pit was a real test lab for us to get feedback and validation from the end users on our products and services. Thanks to a passionate and energetic team, Headstart is one event no startup should miss out at any cost" Anish Achuthan CashNXT
