A Startup Speed Date (SSD) is being planned for the next POCC Meet on Oct 18th.

Date: Sat, Oct 18th
Venue: SICSR, 7th Floor
Timings: 4pm to 7pm
Map: http://www.sadakmap.com/p/SICSR/map/

The idea is for POCC members to get to know the city-entrepreneurs better and on the flip side, the entrepreneurs get to practice their elevator-pitch, field biting questions, and maybe find that one person they sorely need on their team. Please note that this is not a hiring event so please leave those Resumes behind.

Here's the format of a SSD:
1. All the startups will first give a brief introduction.
2. Startups will occupy tables
3. Folks would get to do a sit-down with the startup for a max of 5 (? tbd) minutes
4. At end of the 5 min round the folks move on to the next table
5. this process continues till all in the room have gotten a chance to meet the ones manning the tables
6. At the end of the event you have a chance to win prizes (no iPods - all startups here) by guessing the startup from quiz questions
