Passionate about leveraging technology to drive business growth in Asia, I've been immersed in the industry for over a decade as a Founder, Investor, and Tech Enabler. As a Venture Builder, I've personally nurtured and scaled companies like WhenInManila.com, Blogapalooza, Shoppertainment Live, and Social Light Inc. Having experienced the full startup lifecycle, from bootstrapping to successful exits, I've gained invaluable insights from both triumphs and setbacks. My journey with 917Ventures, a Corporate Venture Builder, allowed me to ideate, operate, fundraise, and scale over 18 ventures across diverse verticals in just 18 months. While Favcy, a Founder First Venture Builder, allowed me to to co-build startups with upcoming founders, supporting more than 14 companies throughout and ensuring new ideas / opportunities are internally and externally ideated. As an Investor, I've contributed as an Angel Investor in several startups, served as a Partner at Original Pitch Venture Capital, and currently hold the role of Venture Partner at Unifier Venture Capital. Viewing startups from the investor's perspective has equipped me with a unique understanding of how to optimize and run successful ventures. As a Tech Enabler, I'm dedicated to supporting Asia-based startups as an advisor and mentor, guiding entrepreneurs through the challenges of startup life and navigating dynamic markets. Additionally, I take pride in organizing Techtonic Summit, Philippines' largest tech conference, fostering connections between startups and investors.
