The most amazing part of the eChai programs is the kind of conversations that happen among participants and smiley balls :-)

#CoRise Seed Prize:

We will experiment with the interesting format for #CoRise Seed Prize - where eChai Members can vote for their favorite startups that they want to support and the startup with maximum number of votes will receive the seed prize.

Just before the event, we'll publish the detailed eChai Showcase interviews of each of the selected demo startups. Also we'll have awesome eChai Offers for all the demo startups.

For the earlier, eChai Demo Day in association with MICA Incubator & Innovify - we had give Rs. 50K prize money - Rs. 25K each for #CoRise Seed Prize Winner & Jury's Choice Winner. eChai & #CoRisers had contributed Rs. 25K for #CoRise Seed Prize & Innovify had sponsored the Jury's Choice Prize.

Certainly, this amount is not the replacement of funding or something like that, but a good way of contributing something instead of just worryng about startup ecosystem or culture :-)

One of the idea is to have eChai Members contribute by being the customer/evangelist/partner of the participating startups and leveraging their business resources to help the #CoRise Seed Prize winner & other startups succeed.

We'll get to a decent amount of prize money for individual city winners & over all winner from all the 20 cities.
