Strategy Roundtables for Entrepreneurs

Sramana Mitra offers free weekly strategy roundtables for entrepreneurs to address positioning, financing, and other aspects of a startup venture.  Up to 1,000 people can attend each session, but only the first five who register to pitch will be able to present their business ideas.  All attendees are able to join in on the conversations via a live chat.

Sramana requests that entrepreneurs use the Clarify Your Story appendix of her Positioning book to prepare their pitches. You can find the excerpt here.

"In the real world, you canʼt have over a dozen employees spread out across eight different cities over two continents. In the real world, you canʼt attract millions of customers without any salespeople or advertising. In the real world, you canʼt reveal your formula for success to the rest of the world.
