The highly anticipated 6th annual Geeks On A Beach (GOAB) conference will be preceded by an exclusive Investor’s Roundtable Dinner, which will be held on November 22, 2023, at the Bellevue Resort Hotel in Panglao, Bohol. This small event offers a one-of-a-kind forum for exclusive conversations on financial subjects pertinent to the area and beyond.
GOAB 6 on November 22-24, 2023
The event, themed “By Investors, For Investors,” intends to promote constructive discussion among participants on several topics, including investment possibilities, valuations in the ASEAN ecosystem, and the establishment of a strong investor community. The night guarantees intelligent interaction and networking due to the participation of notable people from the investment field, such as venture capitalists (VCs) and angel investors.
VCs are professional investors who spend substantial amounts of money in high-growth tech businesses in exchange for equity and a role in governance. Angel investors, on the other hand, are wealthy individuals who make earlier, generally smaller-scale contributions in return for equity or convertible debt, providing financial support while the company is more fledgling and risky.
The event has a great lineup of speakers, entrepreneurs, and investors from around the world, including Chris McCann, Race Capital (USA); Franco Varona, Foxmont Capital Partners (PH); Paulo Campos, Kaya Founders (PH); Katrina Rausa Chan, QBO/IdeaSpace Philippines (PH); Jeremy Au, Monk’s Hill Ventures (SG); Pun Jaruthassanakul, Seedstars (TH); Jojo Flores Plug and Play Tech Center (US, PH); Adriel Yong, Ascend Angels (SG); Mohan Belani, e27 (SG); Orvel Ventures (SG); Jay Fajardo, Launchgarage (PH); Mark Sng, Gentree (SG, PH); Sohun Bae, AVV Ascend Vietnam Ventures (VN); Joon Cho, Abound Capital (SG); Martin Cu, 500 Global (PH + WW); Kickstart Ventures (PH); Patricia Sosrodjojo, Seedstars (TH); and Joseph de Leon, Manila Angels Investor Network (PH).
Franco Varona of Foxmont Capital Partners will give the Philippine Venture Capital Report, followed by an open facilitated conversation guided by industry veterans.
