Beyond the Startup Hype: The People Who Build Successful Startups in the Ph

Just Filipinos who have worked at high-growth startups around the world, sharing what it really took.

This is an Official PH Startup Week 2026 Side Event 🎉

On November 11, we’re bringing together Filipinos who have worked at high-growth startups around the world to talk about what it really takes to build a successful startup.

Beyond the hype, the fundraising headlines, and the success stories, we want to hear from the people who were actually in the trenches.

💡 How did they land their roles at global startups?
🛠️ What did they actually do to help these companies grow?
📈 What separates startups that scale from those that don't?
🔥 What challenges did they face, and what lessons did they learn?
🌍 And what's next for these builders?

Expect candid conversations, practical lessons, and meaningful connections with people who have seen startup growth from the inside.

We're also bringing the community together for a networking mixer, because some of the best opportunities start with a conversation. 👀

More details, speakers, and registration information coming soon!

A huge thank you to everyone helping make this happen. Let's bring global startup experience closer to home and strengthen the Philippine startup ecosystem, together. 🇵🇭

See you at PH Startup Week!
