i2I'09 - the premise ...

Hi all ,
i2I is back again ...

before we read on about what is new , a brief recap of the legacy of last year ..

i2I'08 was a success , 4 out of 9 finalists now are full fledged companies and doing well .
The format we innovated is now accepted across India and in the current season is the one followed by almost every top bracket B school .

i2I'09 gets more closer to the ideal.
The basic philosophy is to let the participants go through the rigor and test of the process . It is a firm belief that a team which comes through the process has in it the potential to go ahead and develop a sustainable enterprise .

It is going to be a 3 stage process again
with the zonal finals ( elevator pitches ) happening sometime in middle of December .

We are far bigger team and have much established partners which takes the whole process in a completely different league ..

~i2I is a process , A process spread over 100 days , whole nation , around 1000 entrepreneurs , 100 VC's and academicians ...

keep watching for more
and we start accepting executive summaries from 15th October .

Good luck
