Teliportme, First Indian Company to be Blown Up by 500 Startups

Vineet is an alumnus of Cornell University and was always encouraged Professor Steve Bennett at the college to startup. He had an enriching work-experience with a couple of companies before starting up Teliportme. Applying for 500s was a very last minute decision "I did not prepare for applying it or any other incubator for that matter, it was within 10 minutes over a phone call with Paul Singh ( Partner at 500s ) that the whole thing fell in place. Working amidst entrepreneurs of the highest caliber, 500s is one of the best experiences a startup entrepreneur can have. As the philosophy is 500 Startups helps early stage ventures with three important things- Design (Great products start with a great user experience), Data (Helps make informed product and marketing decisions) and Distribution (scalable, cost-effective customer acquisition).

Talking about the advantages about the program, Vineet says, "The kind of mentorship one receives and the people one meets is absolutely phenomenal. There are over 160 mentors and interacting with people like Naval Ravikant and Aaron Patzer has been much more than enriching." Many of the products/offerings at the program undergo modifications or fine-tuning in their business model and come up with a new and a better product." says Vineet. Teliportme should be ready for a big launch by mid-June.
