​Founders often struggle to keep up with tech changes, market shifts, and new competition. It takes foresight, agility, and a strong support network to stay ahead.

​We're thrilled to invite you to our Founders Fireside Chat, where we'll exchange insights on the startup scene between APAC and Silicon Valley.

​We'll hear from:

• ​Rajiv Ayyangar, CEO of Product Hunt, who has successfully launched 7x on the platform and has played a key role in expanding its community and product capabilities.

• ​Paulo Campos, Founding Managing General Partner at Kaya Founders, who leads investments across sectors and co-founded ZALORA Philippines, shaping the country’s e-commerce landscape.

​This session will be facilitated by Dexter Ligot-Gordon, CEO of Swarm, a 2x startup founder, Y-Combinator Alumni, and an On Deck Founders fellow (ODF11).

​They'll discuss about effective strategies for competition and collaboration between startups and big tech players, and discover how smaller companies can innovate in a landscape dominated by tech giants.

​At this event, you’ll also connect with founders and builders, and gain insights on where the field is headed.

​Food is on us!
