Innovative Startups Compete for Coveted Prize to Fuel Business Growth
The Manila Venture Program (MVP) has set the stage for a thrilling showdown of entrepreneurship and innovation with the launch of its flagship event, MVP Demo Day. Set to take place on August 25, 2023, at the prestigious One Ayala venue, MVP Demo Day promises to be a gathering of remarkable entrepreneurs and visionary investors. The event marks the culmination of the Manila Venture Program, a dynamic initiative aimed at nurturing and catalyzing Filipino startups.
A highlight of MVP Demo Day is the challenge that has garnered significant attention – a $150,000 USD investment opportunity awaits the victor.
For the past 10 weeks, carefully selected startup teams have been honing their ideas, refining their strategies, and developing their businesses under the guidance of MVP. The ultimate goal: to present their groundbreaking solutions to a distinguished panel of judges.
The esteemed panel, drawn from the ranks of Kaya Founders and the Sinigang Valley network, will evaluate the participants’ pitches, innovation, and potential for market disruption. The winning team will not only secure a substantial investment but also gain a springboard to propel their business to new heights.
