PowerPlug is redefining the way the (so called) ecosystem knows about the real technology startups from India. We had a great list of startups that applied for the month of March and the winner, VisualWebsiteOptimizer surely defines the PowerPlug concept (well, the founder gets an iPad).
The contest is now open for the month of April and here are quick FAQs:
Who is this for?
Typically, product startups and to be precise, startups of age >6 months. If not revenue making, you should have pivoted the product and found a sweet spot in the market (atleast you think so!). You can apply only once in a quarter.
Why the minimal restriction of 6 months?
Well, 6 months is what it will ideally take you to pivot/find a sweet spot for your business/product plan [aside, real entrepreneurs do gatecrash].
Is there a theme to this month’s contest
No. All startups can apply.

- Potential of Business Idea
