Regular readers might have spotted that the next Startup Asia conference will be held in Jakarta on November 21 and 22.
In every Startup Asia conference, one of the key highlights is Arena, where a group of hand-selected startups will pitch and battle for $10,000, enough to feed a two-man team for at least six months if spent frugally. Registration is open. If you have the guts to take up the challenge, submit your startups here.
Besides a chance to win prize money, there are other incentives to pitch on stage, such as exposure to feedback from judges, and a chance to meet investors, users, and potential partners. Our team will also help you practice your pitch starting six weeks before D-Day just to ensure that you are ready to show your very best on stage.
Some of our past Arena participants have been awesome and fortunate enough to attract funding from top investors, including Innova Tech, PayrollHero, Phroni, Vibease, and Flocations. Other startups like Start Now, Piktochart, NoLimit, Zocial, and Teamie continue to do well, generating revenue and are self-sustainable. So be part of Arena, submit your details now!
PS: We don’t claim credit for our past Arena participants’ success; we’re just happy that they are doing well!
