Loading ...Things are buzzing at Eko and we have just updated our website to let people know a little more of what we are upto.
In a startup working on the right things and keeping founder chemistry strong are important challenges. We think we are doing well on this score.
We have agreed on three key goal areas for this financial year. These are # of active customers that we want to exceed, an upper limit on the money we are prepared to burn without venture funding and a fundraising goal.
This helps us keep focused.
Your comments are most welcome.
this is very interesting stuff Sanjay, please do keep the bits flowing in .. i for one would be very interested in the eko story..
Hey guys, this is exactly the kind of posting we need on VentureWoods: Start-up announcements, behind the scenes look, product launches, etc. All those involved with companies please do come forward. We’d rather hear it from you direct than through the press.
Roshan,
I will post whenever I think I have something of general interest to share.
Thanks for the quick turnaround, Sanjay…
Personal satisfaction derived from fruits of labor is something that cannot be captured adequately by risk-reward equations.
You echo the investor community (that includes me too) while you say “I think now the listed equities tend to be fairly valued” - something we said even as Sensex was around 9000 and Nifty was about 3000… Birds of a feather flock together…:-)
Doweneedthis, spareus,
I don’t know what really offended you about Sanjay’s post but I for one think that it would be interesting to read more and not less about what Sanjay is experiencing as he goes through probably his first Indian start-up. He’s got a lot of experience and has seen how larger companies are built in other parts of the world. I would love to hear more about his unique experiences through the eko lifecycle. Nothing proprietary of course but general entrepreneurship related experiences. I’m guessing Sanjay because of the team structure that you would have some free time on your hand to do this.
cheers,
Very cool stuff Sanjay, and all the best.
My startup’s a little bit behind, and judging from the response here it’s kind of a mixed game when it comes to interest in new startups; but I’d love to hear about your experiences as you go along this path.
Wanted to ask though: if 10X is what you look for, what’s the time period of the expectation?
Doweneedthisinfo,Spareus,
I also support your view that venturewoods should not be used for marketing pitch.But who are we to decide on the moto of this forum.
But I think Alok is atleast giving us(entrepreneurs) a forum to interact.And how can you forget that this is a platform basically of VC’s of india.
We are coming up with a platform for entrepreneurs of india.Watch out soon on VentureSprings.com.A suggestion to dowe..and spareus that have guts to say a spade a spade.
Those who want to know more about venturesprings can drop me a mail.
