Building The A Team - Startup Saturday Ahmedabad February Edition

The team behind your idea is the most important piece of the startup puzzle. Once you choose a great co-founder and go as far as you can with just the two of you, it's time to start building the rest of your team. Hiring the right people makes all the difference, especially in the early days of your Startup journey.

As Steve Jobs rightly said - "Great things in business are never done by one person. They're done by a team of people". We at Headstart, are choosing 'Building your A-Team' as the theme for the Startup Saturday, February edition. This is the 2nd part of the 6-month series of 'How to Start a Start-Up', taking you through the steps, decisions, questions that every entrepreneur faces during a startup cycle.

This event is a collaborative effort of GTU Innovation Council, eChai, TiE Ahmedabad and GBG Ahmedabad along with Headstart.

We thank you LD College of Engineering for providing us with a wonderful Venue.
