My dear Rodinhooder,
We’re back from #NPC2015 and I can’t tell you HOW MANY RODINHOODERS WE MET!!! OMG – it’s unbelievable how many Rodinhooders reached out to Alok and me, shared their goosebumpy stories, updated us on their startups and just hung out with us! It was so so nice being able to put a face to the name 🙂
I tried to take a few selfies with the Rodinhooders we met, but couldn’t get ‘em all 🙁 This is one of my faves ‘coz Harsh is just a teen rodinhooder 🙂 ]
[Rodinhooder Harsh Songra (My Child App) recognised me from my tee!!!]
All I can say is please keep sharing your incredible journeys on TRH so they can keep inspiring each one of us. And pls don’t hesitate to use SHOWCASE, ASK, ASK RODINHOODERS & Alok’s FUNDING PITCH TEMPLATE!!
