ASN Happy Hour for Startups | SME owners | Search funds| Investors | Mentors
Join us for ASN Happy Hour!
Maybe you’re thinking about starting a business. Maybe you’re exploring buying one through entrepreneurship through acquisition (ETA). Or perhaps you’ve already started building and want to meet more people who understand the journey.
ASN Happy Hour is your chance to meet entrepreneurs further along their journey, folks in the ETA/ search fund community, investors, startup mentors and experts.
We know that some of the most valuable conversations happen outside the classroom. So we’re bringing together just 25 people for an intimate and relaxed evening of networking, honest conversations, and new connections.
🤝 Real Talk. Real Connections.
Meet past ASN Masterclass participants and fellow entrepreneurs who understand the realities of building and running a business — from starting from scratch and acquiring businesses to managing cafés and navigating the everyday ups and downs of entrepreneurship.
Come ready to:
✨ Meet new friends and entrepreneurs from the ASN community
💬 Exchange your best — and worst — business stories
🤝 Learn from others who are on a similar journey
💡 Find potential collaborators, business partners, mentors or even investors
🚀 Discover which ASN Masterclass could be right for your next step
We’ll be gathering at our partner’s cosy Hanoi Story Bar by Bobby Yeoh, with good food, warm company, and conversations that might just spark your next idea.
This isn’t a big networking event. We’re intentionally keeping it small, personal and relaxed, so you’ll actually have the chance to get to know the people in the room.
Seats are limited to just 25 participants, so RSVP early if you’d like to join us!
And a special thank you to Bobby Yeoh for welcoming the ASN community to his newly opened bar. ❤️
See you there!
