An Audacious dream called Andhrapreneurship

The success story of Silicon Valley ushered decades of attempts from local bodies and governments across the world to try and create incentives to replicate the ability to create high-value technology companies from scratch. But entrepreneurship isn’t fuelled by tax breaks and office space, it’s the result of the constant collision between ideas and problem solvers. 

Entrepreneurship is organic. It forms from need. In 2014, an unassuming event called The StartAP Fest was announced to bring together young people wanting to build startups from across the state of Andhra Pradesh and give them access to the country’s best minds over a course of three days to learn and receive advice from. Over 2000 people attended.

 

 

Andhra Pradesh in 2014 wasn’t the Blockchain poster child that it is today. It was a state in crisis. It’s economic powerhouse of Hyderabad was carved out in the formation of the state of Telangana. It was in need of monumental economic reform to hyper-drive wealth and job creation.

When a group of people sit together to tackle a problem that others think is impossible by discovering and using insights, that’s called building a startup. The event led to the key insight that what people needed to build great companies was an ecosystem and support system. Since then, StartAP has silently evolved into one of the world’s most promising startup ecosystems, engaging and impacting over 800 entrepreneurs who realised, built and launched their ventures. 

It has events like the one it started with, a network of startup communities with regular local meet-ups called StartAP Go, a college program called StartAP Campus and an ambitious mission to create 100 high-value, high-impact global startups out of Andhra Pradesh by 2020 called Vision StartAP 100 — and to move that vision forward, an impact fund called The StartAP Innovation Fund.
