​Tired of awkward small talk and collecting business cards you’ll never follow up on?

​Community Capital Exchange is not your typical networking event.

​🎁 Register by April 16 to go in the draw to win a Sunrise Festival ticket (valued at $299).

​Talent is everywhere. But access to networks and opportunity isn't — especially if you grew up in a household where hustle was the only strategy anyone knew.

​This is a curated, high-energy gathering during Sunrise Week — built for founders, operators and professionals from Southeast Asian backgrounds, and the allies who actively back them.

​No panels.
No pitching.
No spectators.

​Just intentional connection in a room designed to open doors.

​What you’ll walk away with:

• ​At least 3 meaningful new connections

• ​Warm conversations with founders, investors and operators

• ​Real collaboration opportunities

• ​Clear next steps (not vague “let’s catch up sometime”)

• ​A sense of belonging in a high-trust room

​Whether you’re building a startup, investing, working in corporate, or supporting the ecosystem — this room is designed for participation, generosity and momentum.

​We’re all about building wealth beyond money — so this isn’t just about professional wins, but personal goals too (buying a home, getting fit, starting a side project, learning something new, or simply expanding your world).

​Even the food reflects our values — light bites by a migrant founder from our community, who is also a trained sous chef.

​Come ready to contribute.
Leave with people who are ready to build with you — in business and in life.

​Who is this event designed for?

• ​Founders and operators from Southeast Asian backgrounds (and broader migrant communities)

• ​Investors and angels who back underrepresented founders

• ​Corporate professionals ready to engage — not just observe

• ​Community builders and ecosystem supporters

• ​Allies who show up with intention

​To protect the quality of the room, ticket numbers are intentionally limited across participant types.

​Presented in partnership with Haymarket HQ, Crouching Tiger Network and Love Your Rebel Events, Kitchen by Lorna Lee and supported by Blackbird's Sunrise Community Grant.
