Network Capital Galore: How The VIP Connects’ Events Accelerate PH Startup Growth
“The proof of the pudding is in the meeting.”
“It’s only Wednesday after our Saturday Dr Wine event, and I’ve already invited 7 new friends I met at Nam’s to an investor gathering we’re hosting in two weeks. Just this Tuesday, I met another powerhouse connection from Saturday — a guy deeply rooted in regional family offices. I introduced him to the CEO and CFO of one of our 100X portfolio companies, and he’s now joining our monthly investor power circles where he’ll engage with 40 other portfolio companies.
Next Tuesday, I’m meeting yet another powerhouse connection from Nam’s, someone I know will be just as valuable to our 100X initiatives to birth the greatest generation of Philippine startups. In our venture capital business, we capitalize not just with financial capital but with network capital — and there’s network capital galore when Nam is in charge.
Plus, lots of golfers too, and that White Burg was amazing — Renee and I had a fantastic time. Congratulations to Nam, and thank you for having us!”
