Entrepreneurship workshop on “Finance for Entrepreneurs” a huge success

Entrepreneurship workshop on “Finance for Entrepreneurs” at Mumbai, organised by Nurture Talent Academy and Mumbai Angels, was a huge success. To talk in terms of numbers, it had 100% attendance (sorry to the entrepreneurs who had to be denied registrations at the last moment) and overall satisfaction score was > 90%.

The topics covered in the 2-hour workshop included basics of finance, financial projections, breakeven analysis and valuations for a startup. The audience included a variety of entrepreneurs – some planning to start in future while others running their startups for some years (but still in a startup mode!). From Mumbai Angels, Rajiv Dadlani and Nilesh Gandhi were the guest speakers – both have done over 10 early stage investments and got a few exits too! The workshop started with a presentation by Amit Grover, Founder, Nurture Talent Academy, which was interspersed by questions from the audience entrepreneurs. The questions and discussions ranged from valuation of a service related startup to a highly technology oriented startup, how to estimate market size and targets for a startup, how to estimate costs correctly and what are the ways to price a product.

Led by the success of the workshop and interest shown by all entrepreneurs, more such workshops are planned in the future.
