GAN APAC MEETUP 2013
For Accelerators, Investors, Mentors & Founders
For the first time ever, the GAN APAC meetup will bring together accelerators and their key partners across the Asia Pacific region to connect, network and learn from one another. The event will take place over a day and an evening on Friday 26 July 2013 and is an invitation-only event for the top technology accelerator programs in the Asia Pacific Region.
The Global Accelerator Network (GAN) has grown to become an invitation-only group of 53 top accelerators from around the world. This free event is hosted by JFDI.Asia in Singapore. The aim is to inspire a dialogue between influential members of the Asia Pacific accelerator community about ways to cooperate, collaborate and elevate accelerators in this region.
Delegates will have the opportunity to network informally when they arrive, then GAN staff will lead a discussion on practical aspects of promoting accelerator programs and selecting teams. Over lunch, entrepreneur and investor Hian Goh will share his experience of building and exiting from The Asian Food Channel, becoming an investor and how he feels accelerators are essential to the APAC startup ecosystem. During the afternoon, GAN staff will lead three discussions as we are joined by mentors and investors of accelerators: sharing experience of briefing and using mentors effectively across the many cultures of Asia, exploring business models to make accelerators financially sustainable, and the relationship between accelerators, startups and investors. The day will end with an informal networking session over dinner and a 'reverse pitch' where local investors pitch to founders and accelerators.
