Google runs a very successful program, called 'Google Launchpad' to mentor startups and turn them into successful businesses. Google is bringing the program to India and the is scheduled between 3-7 November in Bangalore. Note that the Launchpad is a one-week program that focuses exclusively on startups that are in the pre-incubation stage. The founders and the startup teams are educated on various aspects of product/service building such as strategy, technology, user interface, marketing and business development etc.
The programme ends with a demo day, where the participating startups will get an opportunity to present before a panel comprising of venture capitalists, investors and senior Google employees.
