We at Proto.in have been realizing the need for startups who are looking for talent to hire. We did announce that we’ll do something about this and here it goes:
In most cases, it does seem like there is just a simple need to connect folks with the right people; Startups and the people who are interested in joining them.
I’ve setup a simple template at http://startuplunch.proto.in which should explain the process. It’s quite simple. If you are a startup, put down your name, and the company info. And if you are someone looking to join a startup, jot down your name. If the startups can collaborate and set a date then its to follow a meeting over lunch and see if your interests with the candidate match up.
I am very keen to hear of your suggestions. Feel free to create a new wiki/site should you find the need and just link it up to the section under your city so that people can follow.
Am hoping that this will serve to be self-sustainable so that there is no additional overheads on the already lean finances of the startup.
If you are looking for a job in an interesting startup and would like to meet the founders over lunch sometime, do feel free to register right away.

I liked your concept. I would like know few point from your side, which can help a person “why he/she should join startup?”
Vijay i have very personal idea for you. Talent is not aware of power as well as cost they hold in them self. If your program becomes wider then present status. If he could explain,teach and develop collage student or research students about working in ideas and power to change future. This can become triggering point for new startups as well as employees for those startups. If 21 age boy feels that working on cool idea is better then joining infy….then he would obviously want to join startup to gain experience. It will be more firing situation then right now.

Thanks Deepak. I am assuming that you are based out of bangalore. When the bangalore meet happens, I am sure you could always help out and maybe there might be someone totally impressed by what you do 🙂
My startup doesn’t qualify. We don’t have a single paid employee on the payroll, and we’re not a year old yet. Have website though. Also logo.
Come July we may satisfy all conditions; till then I would love to see how this initiative pans out.
But this is good as a start, excellent work Vijay. Keep it coming.
Vyaas, definitely. I think I put a stub on the wiki already. Where are you from? You are more than welcome to take it up and run in either of those places.
Pune and Hyd are other places which may be added
