We blog a lot. But most wouldn’t know that behind the scenes, we’re occasionally used as the Asian bridge to help entrepreneurs connect with investors (and vice versa). We love to help, because we think it’s good work.
We have looked at the community from a bird eye’s view, and we realized there aren’t many such opportunities in Singapore, and perhaps in most other parts of Asia, for investors and entrepreneurs to meet up. And when such meetings do take place, funding shouldn’t be the only point of interest. More importantly, it is an opportunity to get to know investors on a personal level which is perhaps more important for a long term sustainable partnership.
I don’t recall many opportunities in Singapore that focus on helping entrepreneurs to meet investors on personal level. So we thought it would be fun to set up a meetup session for entrepreneurs in Asia to meet up with investors also here in Asia. Our core team will also be down at Singapore to mingle with our readers and Startup Asia participants.
That founders and investors meetup will be held on February 4, 2012, after our Startup Asia Singapore conference. We just set it up barely just 24 hours ago for our overseas guests and have received over a hundred sign-ups so far. You can find out more information about the event over on the sign up page here. Only entrepreneurs and investors should sign up for this.
We also have a networking session with overseas guests on February 1, 2012. It’s a good opportunity for everyone to meet and chat on a personal level. Have fun, and may you find good opportunities in these two networking sessions.
