BTS Services & Event Sponsorship
By The Startups (BTS) Community forum has outgrown itself from a startup community to a business networking and referral leads organization, besides imparting the required knowledge and skill sets for starting or scaling up a business. We felt it was natural to do so. From this year onwards, BTS takes immense pleasure in calling itself a ‘Business Visibility Platform’ through the introduction of planned activities leading to the visibility and success of any business. And here’s what we’ve come up with:
1. The MEMBERSHIP FEE for joining the By The Startups Community forum is ZERO.
2. Businesses need more VISIBILITY & REPUTATION than PROMOTION & MARKETING. Therefore, we are essentially putting the horse before the cart.
3. The POWER OF THE WEB & VIDEO is massive and infinite. The impact of networking events is a multiplier effect.
4. Businesses require a MIX OF ONLINE & OFFLINE VISIBILITY STRATEGIES through the right promotion channels (we are continuously improving on that aspect).
5. Every business requires a different form of content and approach for visibility.
IMPORTANT NOTE: All responses to questions should be submitted exclusively in a Word document format and sent to bythestartups@gmail.com along with any necessary images and videos, if applicable. Kindly check the provided questionnaire for submission without fail.
Yes, BTS has a lot of Bills & Expenses to Cover!
We Need & Appreciate Your Kind Support Every Time…
Please be aware that the BTS Community forum and organization relies solely on the payment received from our member clients, whether online or offline, to sustain itself and provide improved services to businesses. A significant part of fund allocation goes toward web maintenance, content development, and event management. Hence, we kindly request that payments be made consistently and punctually. Unlike certain business communities that excessively charge for membership, we have always been fair and reasonable, remaining committed to our core principles.
We kindly request your support for our community forum and organization, as we are committed to reciprocating with valuable contributions. The more you Share, the more you Get!
