Founders × Funders: From MVP to Market
Founders × Funders is returning for its second edition, bringing together founders who have already built their MVPs and are now focusing on GTM, customer acquisition, and validating market demand, alongside angel and early-stage investors interested in getting to know emerging startups in Thailand.
We believe relationships between founders and investors should begin before fundraising.
This isn't a pitch event or an investment showcase. It's a small gathering where founders and investors can exchange perspectives, discuss real challenges, and build relationships beyond transactions.
People before products. Relationships before transactions.
Who Should Join?
For Founders
Early-stage founders who have developed an MVP or launched their product and are actively working on GTM, customer acquisition, and building traction.
Whether you're testing with early users, acquiring your first customers, or generating initial revenue, this is an opportunity to share experiences, gain investor perspectives, and connect with others navigating similar challenges.
You don't need to be fundraising to join.
For Angel & Early-Stage Investors
Angel investors and early-stage investors interested in meeting founders who have moved beyond the idea stage and are actively bringing their products to market.
Get to know the people behind emerging startups, understand how they're approaching market challenges, and exchange perspectives with founders and fellow investors before formal fundraising conversations begin.
What to Expect
No pitching. No selling. No demo day.
Just a small group of founders and funders sitting around the same table, talking openly about:
Moving from MVP to market and finding early customers.
GTM challenges, market validation, and building traction.
What investors look for in early-stage startups.
How founders and investors can contribute to Thailand's startup ecosystem.
There is no formal presentation agenda. We want conversations to develop naturally, with everyone encouraged to share their experiences and perspectives.
The goal isn't to leave with a stack of business cards, but to build genuine relationships that continue beyond the event.
