Diaspora &
Visiting Experts
▪ Bridging the gap between „Business Plan Competitions‟ & Real World
▪ Limited access to infrastructure, entrepreneurs, mentorship & talent
▪ Finding co-founders is very difficult due to lack of social spaces
▪ Private space for after-work brain storming, hacking & engaging community
▪ Potential mentors, but lacking organized access to students and professionals
▪ Engaging with other successful entrepreneurs outside of their own domain
▪ Typical „innovators dilemma‟ – existing team is not thinking disruptive
▪ No avenue for finding innovative, entrepreneurial „partners‟ for organic growth
