About the conference:
Innovative products and business models are the foundations of promising start-ups. However, a steady flow of funds, especially in the early stages, to turn those ideas into reality is a necessity. Funding is crucial for improving technology, hiring the right people and launching a comprehensive marketing strategy to get a foothold in the market. However, sourcing enough money to start a new venture can be difficult. On the other hand, to expand a small business with a loan or going for venture capital, a scalable business model is required. Investors, in particular, want to fund only scalable or ready to scale businesses. Business models must show the potentiality to increase the revenue with minimal expenditure in the coming months or years. The theme of the conference is on the 'Role of the Financial Institutions in funding the Start-Ups' and also helping them to sustain in the long run.
