(Applies to Basic & Paid members) 

We invite you to contribute as sponsors for BTS business meets, including training/mentoring sessions, and avail yourself of the benefits mentioned below for mutual success. Sponsors can be either basic or paid members.  Our objective is not to treat businesses as event sponsors but to offer them measurable outcomes through visibility. Therefore, we help our sponsors gain awareness, demonstrate their expertise to the audience, and maintain ongoing business relationships. Here are a few benefits that our sponsors can enjoy: 

– All sponsors become BTS members by default for an indefinite period or as agreed upon by team BTS 

–  Inclusion in one of our exclusive Members and Non-members (if requested) for potential referral leads

–  Elevated brand visibility through the event itself, promotional engagements, and media attention

– Pitching on-stage to enhance your brand equity

– Direct engagement with the audience for potential lead generation

– Access to data regarding attendees and their interactions during the event 

– Opportunity to present your products or services to an engaged audience

– Collect feedback and insights from attendees regarding industry trends, customer preferences, and additional factors

– Distribute promo materials, brochures, or samples to attendees for brand engagement

– Gain appreciable ROI—achieved by enhancing brand visibility  and creating room for generating potential lead prospects as measurable outcomes

– Flexibility to tailor your sponsorship packages to meet your individual objectives, financial constraints, intentions, and expectations regarding your sponsorship

– Event Recognition Award

Note: Since generating referral leads requires building a systematic process, BTS never guarantees the same to any sponsor, being a community that always follows ethical networking practises.


We ensure delivering the utmost value to all our clients and sponsors for the investment made, and trust imposed on us through meticulous planning of activities, proper communication, and execution. For all enquiries, kindly WhatsApp, or email bythestartups@gmail.com today.

Yes, BTS has a lot of Expenses to Cover!

We Need & Appreciate Your Kind Support

Please don’t forget that the BTS Community forum and organization rely solely on the payment received from our members and sponsors to sustain itself and provide improved services to businesses. A significant part of the fund, however, goes toward web maintenance, content development, and event management. Hence, we kindly request that payments be made consistently and on time. Unlike certain business communities that excessively charge for membership, we have always been fair and reasonable, remaining committed to our core principles.

We seek your support for our community forum and organization, as we are committed to giving back to the community. The more you Share, the more you Get!
