Investor + Founder Night 2.0
Meet the Top Investors in Singapore
You've seen it across your newsfeeds: AI companies at just the idea stage raised huge rounds at lofty valuations, and seed valuations are reported to be 42% higher for AI startups. Almost every single startup you know is now AI-coded in one way or another.
We've received tons of questions from founders on how they should approach fundraising in a post-AI world, and we decided to answer it in this event. If you're a founder currently fundraising or about to start fundraise in the next 1-3 months, join us!
What to Expect
The event is on Thursday, 25 June, 2026. Expect:
Learn how investors are thinking about fundraising in a post-AI world - Understand how a VC's priorities and perspectives have changed, featuring Tiang Lim Foo (Analog Ventures) and Shawn Tan (General Partner at Trive). Moderated by Adriel Yong (Clouted).
Meet the top investors in one place - We've invited our investor friends from Plug and Play, Integra, Reefknot, and more so you get structured face time with investors.
Meet the best of the ecosystem - To keep the conversations useful, we're only allowing in founders who are actively fundraising. That means you'll only meet serious founders who are in the same boat as you.
