Yep, I think there will be a bigger turnout this time, but not sure about the bangalore bit. I so far have confirmations from people travelling as far and wide as from Kerala to Kolkatta for this event, and its probably the growth of the startup community that will take the sole credit. Ofcourse, bangalore does have its own resident community, so certainly there will be some contribution from that front as well.

my goal was to cover only the Internet – web startups since thats the domain i’m most comfortable with.

i think it’d definitely be a great idea to have a brief presentation on where are they now.

I want to come — but dont think will be able to make it this time..got a couple of personal and professional commitments around the same time..

I think you might see a much bigger turnout for proto – probably because its iin b’lore ?

When did they showcase? I dont remember.

By the way, nice post, but in every edition we showcased atleast on an average of 15 companies, and now and then we keep hearing of some interesting progress in their growth. One recent story was how thinxworks (a clay animation company), has grown to almost 130 people team, has branched off into two other verticals, and was in the Cannes film festival. Perhaps this Proto.in, we’ll do a snapshot of where all the companies are. Thanks for the thought..

You’ll be coming this time?
