Built For Free – Convert your ideas into reality for free

One out of (maybe) 10 dreamers, would actually work towards turning their dreams into actions.  Lot of us have interesting and creative ideas to startup, but seldom do we take them forward and convert it into a business venture.

If you are one of those with a great idea and the zeal and determination to execute it, but are unable to do it due to lack of technology, Built for free is the platform that will help you realise your startup dream.  Built For Free is an community driven online campaign powered by The Egghead Creative which focuses on helping budding entrepreneurs to walk on the entrepreneurial road. No strings attached!

After the success of their first edition, the team is back to make it a bigger and better second edition of the Built For Free event. Last year, H2O cabs was declared the winners of the event. Tejasri Darsi is extremely proud that her idea got selected out of all the ideas submitted in the built for free campaign.

“While working as a Research Analyst, I found it difficult to commute to the office and faced a lot of safety issues during the travel, so I thought there should be an organized system for transportation. I had this basic idea about the app but didn’t know what to do next? Where to start? Whom to approach? How much it would have cost me and all. I was stuck. At this crucial time, I came across Built For Free and submitted my idea and won the campaign. I felt it’s a great launchpad for any early stage startup.” Says Tejasri when asked about her experience with the highly experienced team of Built for free.
