Startup Disco – Lets Celebrate your Hardwork (and success)

No more “sar-dard-e-disco”!

Welcome to Startup Disco – an idea that popped while having lunch with Yusuf and Rajiv.

Enough of “Meet the VC”, “Demo your Startup” bullshit. Say F.O to all these events and celebrate your own hardwork – @ Startup Disco.

What’s Startup Disco?

As the name says, startups + disco - i.e. lets meet in a pub.. and do what?
Head banging, Dance, Chat, Drink, Bitch about VCs, Share ideas, Find partners and everything that you have been wanting to do.

Most importantly, a break from your busy schedule and a chance to mingle with other entrepreneurs.

More details?

  • When/Where? May 23rd (Friday) at Taika pub, Bangalore
  • Who is going to pay? Well, I’d have loved to pay your bills, but lets keep it very simple (and affordable) for now. Each one of us will pay our own bill (i.e. dutch).
  • What else? If you have questions/comments, leave them in the comment section

2 entrepreneurs are already in for Startup Disco – Yusuf and Rajiv; and if you wanna join the gang, just say Yay in the comment section.

Game?

    9. Vipul says:

      awesome idea!! but taika is an expensive place for unfunded shoe string budget start ups :)

    10. Ashish says:

      hey vipul
      do you know of any other place that doesnt have any “hang-ups” for stags?
      We dont really have an attachment per se for any place, but since the “disco” is on friday, I am a little apprehensive abt the stag thing.

      Please suggest something else if you are aware of.

    11. Vipul says:

      hey Ashish.. was just kidding man :)
      taika sounds great!!

    12. Dispersion says:

      I am so going to be there..

      count me in…..

    14. Nandini says:

      yay! Super. Ashish, Yusuf, Rajiv – you guys sure have stumbled upon a great idea. I guess, once this gig become regular we can also have some kind of a tieup with one of these places to disco!
      BTW, what time?

    15. Puneet says:

      wats d time for d session and who all will b der?

    16. Ashish says:

      Hey nandini..lets get started by around 6.
      yeah..we can have a monthly meet – we better tie up with a place (is there a startup disco bar? :) , if we have to make this a regular gig.

      lets talk abt this on friday @ startup disco!!

    17. kode says:

    18. Venkat says:

      HIC! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! HIC!

      My last startupdisco(The baby was born but not named) was good. A great get rid of startup stress. Looking forward for May23rd.

    20. Kallol says:

      guys, as you know, I am a teetotaller … :-) )))) (btw, did i spell teetoaler correctly ? haha )…i am IN, i will drink water and eat vegan food, does taika serve vegan ?? :-) )))

    21. Kallol says:

      btw, hard rock cafe would have been better, taika is old and has an entry fee, hard rock cafe is better

    22. Venkat says:

      Lets round up suggestions this friday on the next hotspot ;)

    23. Hari says:

      As far as i remember, the last time I went to Taika, there was no disco. Could we confirm this?

      I am game too….

    24. Ashish says:

      All bewdas and bewdi(s) – I will speak to taika guys tomorrow and check out the feasibility.

      @Kallol – I am relying on you to drop us home :D

    25. Rajiv says:

      @hari. went some days back and dance floor was open. its been taken over by some other ppl now. new look. but yes.. i think they dont allow stags anymore there.

    26. yes, new white look!

    27. Mits says:

      Guys, u rock! Gr8 idea! Now I better think of a start up to join ur gang! LOL!! U guyz shud hv a dress code, wat say????

      FYI, Taika opens around 9.00 pm and closes by 11.30pm, if I’m not wrong. Stags are allowed if you are in a group, and the entry fee is Rs.500 & Rs. 300 for couples I’m told. So guys, make sure you tk ur wives & Gfs along! :-P

      Have loads of fun.

      Regards,
      A Non-Bangalorean!

    28. If it is over a beer, I’m definitely Yay!

    29. suresh bhagavatula says:

      is there an upper age limit into the disco? f*^&* rs.500 is steep for an entry! plus booze bill after that. it is a tad expensive for a poor teacher. how broad minded are they on the ‘couple’ front? :)

    30. Venkat says:

      Ouch! – 500 bucks is steep! Are you guys sure about Taika?

      Suresh, can you get jiggy wit’ it?

    31. No Disco for our startup (: So it would only be SAR-DE-DISCO :)

    32. SARTHAK says:

      hI guys,
      I am in…….. Can anyone pls confirm on the stag thing……????? Another sad part of startup-ers life…. No gfs…… So I am definately a stag entry……. Cu there

    33. Ashish says:

      Guys – i checked with taika guys and they DONT allow stags.
      What’s the other alternative? Please suggest asap!

    34. oops..they were allowing sometime back. Any idea about Brigade, Fuga or Opus. HRC is horrible as I heard.

    35. Nithya says:

      hope its done on some regular basis!

      @Sarthak Your chance to ask a single startup woman to dance :)

    36. ok guys, here is an updtae. A friend discussed with Taika and they said they will allow stag after some assurance. She also negotiated the rates for Startup Disco (Rs.300 for single or couple). They can give us a corner table which will accomodate 15-20 people.

      However, we will have to confirm them about number of people and whether we can collect passes or pay on the spot and will it be a group or individual payment. I would think passes would be better if the that person is not available etc but then one need to get money in advance and I am not sure if we have any time left for it. Suggestions?

      Tailka Contact person is Timahiya. We will have to be little early.

      Thanks Mits (see her comment above) for doing all work. I wish you could have attended.

    37. akshat says:

      is there something like this for pune – if not can can we initiate it?

      koi hai pune wala idhar??

    38. Puneeth says:

      Akshat, I think Bhaskar Kode (http://hover.in) guys are based out of Pune. I guess he has even commented on this post. Check with him

    40. Mits says:

      Hey Yusuf, u dont need to thank me, you’re welcome anytime.

      Wish I cud’ve attended the bash, maybe next time im in B’lore. I think you hv sorted out the payment options with Mr. Dimaiyah (sorry it isnt Timaiyah as I mentioned) and hopefully the whole group will go hand-in-hand with whatever you people have decided. So have fun you guys and do update on how the ‘Start-up Disco’ goes! I think a little fun is important along with work, and the kind of work you guyz put in, you definitely need a break! Cheers!! :)

    41. and moi…stuck in Delhi. Would’ve loved to come!

    42. Sarthak says:

      Hi all,
      So is it confirm today?????? And at what time? taika rt? Someone pls give da final update…….. Nw really dnt want 2 b stranded thr by gys :) …..And also ny contact number………..
      @Nithya: Will try to put ur suggestion to practice asap….:)

    43. Ashish says:

      Suresh sir, just come over!! :)

    44. Sagaro says:

      Aren’t you one of the core organizers of Proto.in? Funny you label ‘meet the VCs’ and ‘Showcase your startup’ events as bullshit and ask them to F.O.

    45. Ashish says:

      @sagaro
      I didn’t mean to say F.O to VCs forever. With so many events going on and all doing the same stuff (which are important for the startups), startups need a head banging event!
      I guess you missed
      “Most importantly, a break from your busy schedule and a chance to mingle with other entrepreneurs.”

      Context is the key!
