The wait is over..
Exactly two weeks back, the idea was born. We (myself and Pallav) brainstormed, worked out the finer details and Seeders is born.
Seeders will be the first ‘real angel’ in eastern India which will provide the seed capital backed with and incubation center, friendly advice, thorough mentoring and much more to make your tech start-up successful. And above all we are young (may not be for very long) – so we understand you better!
Seeders will be formally (though we hate this word) launched @ #StartupSaturday Kolkata (courtesy Mitesh Ashar) on 12th September 2009. More details about the complete program – http://network.headstart.in/projects/startup-saturday-kolkata/agenda-september-2009
See you there guys!

Just found that Kolkata Mirror (of Times of India group) did an interesting coverage of the launch.

I am glad to see that entrepreneurship is projected as an alternative of a job. Not too late to awaken the state!
