Startup Accelerator Kyron,    co-hosts India led  of Seedtstar contest for startups

July 18, 2014 : Bangalore-based global start up accelerator, Kyron has partnered with  Seedstars World (SSW) to  host the India leg of   an international competition for emerging market startups.
The India regional event takes place  here  at the Leela Palace Hotel from 10 am to 5.30 pm, on Saturday ( July 19).
The competition is supported by the Geneva, Switzerland-based venture builder Seedstars SA. After a first successful edition in 2013 across 20 cities, SSW expanded its competition  to more than 30 countries. Regional winners are invited back to Geneva to pitch for an equity investment of up to  $500,000. The regional events feature up to 20 startups who must prove their worth in six minutes of pitching time and withstand the questions from a local jury of experts.
In 2013, Seedstars Bangalore was won by Sachin Gupta’s Hacker Earth, a startup that connects companies with developers.
This year, SSW will partner with the Kyron Global Accelerator. Headquartered in Bangalore, Kyron is a next-generation startup accelerator, which works very closely with some of India's best startups by providing deep access to industry and domain experts, seed funding up to $20k and access to a wide range of corporates.  Kyron is offering the winning startup at Seedstars an opportunity to participate in its accelerator program.
Vikram Ahuja, Partner at Kyron Global Accelerator and jury member said, "Kyron is focused on bringing Indian startups to the global stage and helping them expand their international footprint." 
At the regional level, Seedstars World is also partnering with Galixo, a boutique consultancy based in Singapore working with startups in developing their business strategy and entering new markets at global level.
