On the occasion of Amazon Launchpad’s first anniversary in India, Amazon.in announces its collaboration with HAX and crowdfunding community, Kickstarter to help create a conducive environment for early-stage product startups in the country. The three major enablers have come together in a global-first partnership to announce Startup C-Cube, a multi-level challenge for Indian start-ups that flags off in Bangalore on December 5th 2017.
The Startup C-Cube challenge will be officially flagged off by Amazon Launchpad, HAX and Kickstarter jointly at an event in Bangalore on December 5, on the occasion of Amazon Launchpad’s first anniversary in India. The winning start-up will be supported by the trio through the entire “concept-to-customer” journey and the joint program will also provide resources to the winner for launch - both in India and in Europe/US, depending on the scalability of the idea.
The global first partnership with three of the biggest enablers -hardware accelerator (HAX), Funder (Kickstarter) and India’s largest e-commerce marketplace (Amazon.in) is expected to fuel thoughtful and innovative entrepreneurship in India. The partnership will help Indian startup communities connect with like minds, showcase their ideas and grow them into real business opportunities. The three companies are coming together to work towards building the product startup ecosystem of the country while additionally supporting the Government’s ‘Start-up India’ initiative.
