Startup Saturday

Startup Saturday is presented as an event series run by the team behind HeadStart.in. It takes place across several Indian cities and is meant to give entrepreneurs and startups a place to discuss, present, network, and learn from peers, customers, adopters, partners, and investors.

The post says the author will take part more actively in the Mumbai chapter from 8 November 2008 and will give a presentation on bootstrapping a startup. That talk is described as covering idea validation, team formation, finances, trade-offs, investor views, acquisition-friendly startups, and building big while staying frugal.
