Angels Founders

Angels & Founders is the leading impact pitching arena in Southeast Asia, showcasing the region’s most promising early-stage startups and connecting them with a powerful network of angels, family offices, VCs, institutions, and industry experts. Created in 2022, the platform offers founders real investor exposure, actionable feedback, and access to a rapidly growing community of impact-driven builders. Investors gain early access to rigorously vetted startups across climate tech, circular economy, mobility, waste innovation, inclusive growth, and essential services. With 21 editions, 120 selected pitches, 115 expert panelists, 1,500 startup applications, and 6,500 attendees, Angels & Founders has become a key meeting point for the region’s impact ecosystem and a launchpad for the next generation of Southeast Asian founders. The aim of this ongoing series is to not only seek investor / founder synergies, but to also expose each party to the “Road to Funding” journey, using industry-leading vetting standards to provide feedback and promote meaningful collaboration. It’s a place for discovery, learning, and opportunity. Powered by BIC & Archipelago VC.
