Learn To Bootstrap Effectively To Navigate Early Chicken And Egg Stage
Sramana Mitra
Founder and CEO of One Million by the One Million (1Mby1M) Global Virtual Accelerator
During this week’s roundtable, we had as our guest Yanai Oron, General Partner at Vertex Ventures, who took us through his firm’s investment focus on deep technology ventures in Israel. The discussion includes an excellent window into how VC firms have different arithmetic depending on their size and structure.
You can listen to the recording of this roundtable here:
Subba-Cultcha.com
As for the entrepreneur pitches, Mark Jennings from London, UK, pitched Subba-Cultcha.com, a Tripadvisor style music review and rating platform spanning live and recorded music. Very interesting idea, that needs to be bootstrapped to fundability, a chicken and egg situation that every entrepreneur has to navigate.
Incognito Research
Gregory Weston from Santa Clara, CA, then pitched Incognito Research, a market research solution that turns Uber drivers into gatherers of consumer feedback.
Bike Ontel
Next, Yudhi Rahadian from Dusseldorf, Germany, pitched Bike Ontel, a solution to vastly improve bike-rental services offered by cities. Yudhi is currently engaged in discussions with the city of Stockholm, and needs to broaden his customer base to more cities with longer summers.

World doesn’t revolve around anyone — if it doesn’t revolve around richest ppl what to talk about some idiots who are ruining their children’s life in their greed. The way I don’t anyone what to do ... I expect that nobody tells me what to do — directly or indirectly— otherwise I would have to exercise power.
