🚀 Registration Surge & Exciting Speaker Update!
Only 3 days since launching 4S and 3 weeks until the event, we already have over 30 sign-ups! (An incredibly fast pace for an IVS side event, where registrations usually flood in at the last minute...!) Given the venue capacity, we can only accommodate about 100 people at a time. Make sure to secure your spot early!
Looking at the guest list, we have an amazing lineup: government officials in charge of startup strategy, active founders, aspiring entrepreneurs, domestic VC GPs, and international VCs. The networking session is going to be absolutely buzzing!
Plus, we’re thrilled to announce an additional speaker: Mr. Sakai (@T_sakai87) from movus technologies, a Japan-born mobility startup in Southeast Asia!
movus, which just raised a total of 4.26 billion yen in Series B, has been operating in Indonesia since Day 1. While "Go Global" often implies the US, why did they choose Southeast Asia? We'll dive deep into that potential.
We’re working hard to prepare an incredible event for you. Stay tuned!
