What you'll get

What you'll learn in this workshop.

  • A small-group session — 5 to 8 startups only. Founders and co-founders attend together.
  • Held in Chennai. Runs from 10 AM to 5 PM, opening with a 90-minute key-concepts session followed by founder presentations.
  • Deep analysis of your startup: GTM issues, marketing strategy, branding, positioning, growth.
  • Frameworks for positioning, segmentation, and go-to-market strategy tailored to your stage.
  • Honest input on whether to keep bootstrapping or raise — and what that path looks like.
  • Shortlisted founders get an intensive 1:1 mentoring session in Chennai after the workshop.
  • ₹999 registration to cover costs and keep the cohort serious. Proceeds support Dream Tamil Nadu.
