About Event

Coffee Tasting Session with Founders, Operators, and Investors

Stop guessing in the dark. For ambitious founders and SMEs, raising capital or expanding into APAC shouldn't feel like a solo gamble.

The Brew Exchange is a curated, small-group experience designed for startups and SMEs raising capital, exploring expansion across APAC, or just founders/operators looking to build international connections. This isn’t a typical networking mixer; it’s an intentional room where founders, operators, and investors build relationships that open real doors across the region while experiencing unique coffee taste.

🌏 Why Attend

No “What do you do?”, but “How can I help you?”.

No pitching required. No overselling your business. Come for real conversations and genuine support from regional founders, operators, and investors exploring partnerships, capital pathways, and opportunities for 2026. Whether you're fundraising, validating expansion, or preparing to scale, this room shortens the journey.

High-Quality Connections:
Connect with guided small group conversations for depth and relevance, plus personalised warm introductions to people connected with leading early-stage VCs across APAC, including networks like BNI Ventures and Wavemaker Partners. No cold outreach. No guesswork.

Strategic APAC Insights:
Learn what it actually takes to enter and scale across Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, India, Thailand, and China, without the costly mistakes that stall early expansion. Walk away with region-specific insights from operators, investors, and founders with lived experience. Joining us Albert Yang Cross-border Media Strategist and Ex-Disney APAC Market Expert & Head of Social Commerce.

Cultural Experience:
Enjoy brews from Indonesia, Vietnam, India, and Thailand, each paired with prompts that spark meaningful discussions around growth, culture, investment, and opportunity.
