    Agenda

    eChai Demo Days happen every month and are designed as an open house for founders who are actively building product startups.

    We usually start with quick introductions so everyone present knows who’s around, and after that the host invites founders from the audience to come up on stage, one at a time, to talk about what they are working on. Founders share their product or venture with their website or live product open on the screen, and explain what they are building in their own words.

    Typically, each founder gets a few minutes to walk everyone through their product, followed by some time for questions and feedback from the group. The host decides how much time each founder gets, depending on how many people are sharing and how the conversation is flowing.

    If you are actively building a product startup and would like to share what you are working on, you can reach out to jatin@eChai.Ventures. In most cases, founders who are actively building do get a chance to come up and share in this open house format.

    eChai Startup Demo Days are meant to be relaxed and open, where founders learn in public, get early feedback, and leave with new ideas, connections, and clarity from the community.

    Agenda

    What does real product growth look like when you're building from the ground up?

    Join us for an engaging eChai conversation with experienced founders and product leaders as they share honest stories and practical insights from scaling their products, across early bets, pivots, challenges, and growth breakthroughs.

    This session goes beyond frameworks and dives into what actually works when you're short on time, resources, and clarity. You’ll hear how different teams approached product-market fit, prioritized features, learned from what didn’t work, and aligned their teams around real outcomes.

    Whether you're a founder, product manager, or builder at heart, this meetup is a space to learn, connect, and leave with ideas you can apply right away. As always, come for the insights, stay for the conversations.
