NammaOffice Presents · In association with Startup Singam
Startup Summit
10 & 11 October 2026
Fortune City · Erode, Tamil Nadu
When investors, government grants and bank funding come to Tier-2 — not the other way around.
Doors open in:
There are founders in Tier 2 cities as good as anyone in Chennai or Bangalore — working just as hard, with an idea just as good. What they don’t have is easy access to a room full of investors, the thing a metro founder barely thinks about. The talent was never the problem. The access was. We’re closing that gap over a single weekend.
Open All Day
Walk in anytime — schemes sanctioned, connects made and deals explored on the spot.
Scheme officers who can say yes on the day — not six forms later.
Angels, syndicates and micro-VCs actually looking in Tier-2.
The bank people who sign off the loan, at a desk you can walk up to.
The ten startups, up close — see what they’ve actually built.
A quieter corner for the conversations that matter.
Two Days · Every Door Open
Ten Tier-2 startups coached on the pitch, cap table, data room and the questions investors actually ask.
A panel sits with each startup and picks the three that are ready to take the stage.
Three startups pitch to a room that can say yes. The other seven are recognised on stage too.
Grants, investors, banking and the deal corner — open all day. Walk up anytime.
The ten startups up close — see what they’ve actually built, not just a slide.
Investors, scheme officers, bank heads and mentors — under one roof in Erode, no borrowed contact needed.
