STARTUP
BOOTCAMP
DISRUPT 2.0
CONCLUDES ON
HIGH NOTE
The bootcamp session inspired, engaged and mentored
many startups beginning with an introduction to Disrupt 2.0
and what it aims to achieve followed by a discussion session
between start-ups, mentors and subject experts. Many
startups, grouped into teams consisting of five members
each, had the opportunity of getting their questions
answered – from marketing, sales, funding, bootstrapping,
risks, innovation and so on.
Calcey Technologies CEO Mangala Karunaratne said,
“Sometimes all you just need is a bit of morale boost through
entrepreneur camaraderie to keep kicking to stay afloat as
a startup. Sometimes it’s networking with friends, mentors,
advisors and investors to level-up whatever the gaps you may
have. Our goal of the bootcamp is to help build a strong
startup eco-system to share knowledge and experience.”

ambitious young employees that the corporate ladder is
getting obsolete.”
