FL Match & Socials Singapore Vol 2.0
Founders Launchpad is returning to Singapore— and this time, we're back for Tech in Asia. The energy from our last edition was too good to not come back, so here we are again. Co-hosted with Block71 and Databricks, expect the same energy, same vision: an evening of intentional matching and genuine conversations with the people building and backing the next wave of Southeast Asia's most exciting companies.
This event is proudly powered by 917Ventures, KMC Solutions, and, OSOME, and supported by OpenAI.
What to Expect:
FL Match: A curated 1:1 matching session connecting top-tier VCs with founders. Please note that only startups that apply and are accepted will be eligible for matching— returning startups from our previous Singapore edition who wish to join again will need to reapply.
