Startup Saturday is the flagship initiative of the Headstart Network. It is one of the most popular startup events across India. The first Startup Saturday Mumbai (#SSMUM) took place on 10th May 2008 and has been organised on the second saturday of every month since then. 9th July 2016 marked the 99th edition of #SSMUM and on 20th August 2016, we will be celebrating the Centennial event in Mumbai.
Over the years, Startup Saturday has given early stage entrepreneurs a platform to showcase their ideas, network with fellow entrepreneurs, search for team members/co-founders and learn from entrepreneurs who share their expereiences on the #SSMUM platform.
#SSMUM100 will be about celebrating the success of entpreneurs who have been a part of the initiative since its inception as well as about renewing our commitment to continue being the premier platform for aspiring and early stage entrepreneurs to develop and launch their startups.
We look forward to welcoming you to our Centennial event.
