I want to write an article about startup events in Russia

Question

Startups

I want to publish my first article on Habré. The topic is an overview of start-up events in Russia. The beginning of the article is below.

Two questions:
Will it be interesting?
How can I get karma so that I can publish it? What is the best way to receive this karma?



There are many programs and events to support startups. What can they give? Why participate in them? Many people are trying to answer these questions, and we will add our five kopecks to this din. I would like to note right away that the article explains quite simple things that a person who is more or less immersed in the topic may seem banal. But we believe that there are a huge number of people for whom this information can be useful.
A startup has many opportunities to launch, and each of them has its own advantages. You can just do your brilliant project on the sly, then jump out like a jack-in-the-box and blow up the market.
But not everyone is capable of this, many people periodically need a little emotional doping, which can be obtained at startup parties. Some still really need money, connections, smart advice or a team. So, what activities and programs can help a young IT entrepreneur?


1) Startup Weekend, Harvest , HackDay

As the name implies, they usually take place on weekends. Most often, as many smart people as possible, who are also called experts, are gathered in one place, and they listen to stories about your project and express their thoughts for two or three days. Usually this takes place in some business incubator, in Moscow - Digital October or InCube, in Kazan, for example, an IT park or any other room suitable for 200 people to work. The result may be different. Some understand that they are doing everything right and, inspired, begin to work twice as efficiently. Some, after advice given by experts, turn the concept on its head and it turns out that this should have been done from the very beginning. And some leave with the thought that the weekend was in vain, and all the experts do not understand anything. We sincerely wish good luck to the latter, they will need them.
Experts like some projects so much that they continue to communicate after the working session, and sometimes the expert even becomes a partner (mentor) or an employee of the company. In any case, such events are just the perfect place for networking, and connections, as you know, decide everything.
In addition to experts, good specialists often drop in here, who are ready to exchange the office crypts of large corporations for the fresh wind of a startup. And cadres are no less important than connections. In addition, an experienced team will be another trump card in obtaining investments.
At such events, not very useful, but extremely pleasant prizes are often given out: money (10-100 thousand dollars), certificates for some b2b service such as Megaplan or My Business, or for educational courses.
The disadvantages of such sessions are, firstly, that they take a lot of time, and secondly, this is an ideal bullshitting option for a beginner project. Bullshitting is when you are doing secondary things and putting off priority tasks (such as finding your first clients or building a prototype) because you are afraid to actually launch the project. A very convincing illusion of useful activity is created, but sooner or later people who go to all events with the same project for six months and still have not even assembled a working prototype begin to look askance, and a year later they are openly ignored. So you shouldn't forget about direct work either.
