What Happened Last Week

Had a great evening hosting the C-suite of StartupX (a leading Southeast Asian network covering 10,000+ startups) and like-minded Limited Partners (LPs), High Net Worth Individuals (HNIs), and Family Offices, who share a passion for investing in promising startups and supporting their growth!

We also learnt from Katelyn Donnelly (MD at Avalanche VC, Ex-Founding Partner of Pearson Ventures) and Oriana Papin-Zoghbi (CEO of AOA Dx - biotech co for early cancer detection; raised $8M) at a panel hosted by the amazing Gabriella G. (Investor, Two Sigma Ventures)! Oriana and Katelyn concurred that startup success comes from finding the right investors and fostering strong relationships based on trust, alignment, and shared purpose. Ignore hype cycles and trust your conviction. Thank you Beyond Identity, Perkins Coie LLP, and Free Agency for making it possible!
