Startup Connect

Our mission at e27 has always been to empower entrepreneurs with the tools to build and grow their companies. Over the years, we fulfil this by providing the opportunity to bridge the tech and startup ecosystem stakeholders with each other – giving startups the opportunity to be visible in large investor networks and providing leaders, technology catalysts, and investment firms access to startups across the region regardless of stage, location, and industry.

Since the launch of Investor Connect — which allows startups to connect directly with investors — e27 has facilitated almost 10,000 startup – investor connections, with two startups being able to bag multi-million dollar funding.

While we see the need for opportunities like these for startups, we also hear the demand of industry leaders, technology catalysts, investment firms, and even fellow startups to access and reach out to e27’s over 34,000 startups on the platform.

That’s why we are thrilled to announce the launch of Startup Connect.

Access 34,000+ opportunities

Startup Connect is a new feature on the e27 platform that allows you to connect with over 34,000 startups. This means that everyone on the platform – as long as you have an account and a company or investor profile – have access to over 34,000 potential partnerships, collaborations, knowledge sharing, and investment opportunities.

Startup founders, for example, can directly reach out to other founders for partnerships and collaborations, sharing of insights, or simply to expand your network and engage with the community.

Think of it as a digital and borderless networking event (remember those?), wherein you show up and start speaking with other attendees. But with Startup Connect, you get the chance to pre-select who to speak with using the various filters like industry or location.

Investors now also have the capability to proactively connect with startups. Alongside Investor Connect, this new feature gives you more tools to directly reach startups for potential investment opportunities.

Get started with Startup Connect

We know 34,000+ is a lot to go through, so we thought to help you out. Throughout the quarter, we will be featuring a recommended list of startups with which you can connect with: every Tuesday on our Daily Digest (make sure you’re subscribed), articles, and widgets on our Startups page.

The list will be curated based on what’s relevant in the ecosystem today, and diversified to give fair opportunities to everyone on the platform. For startups who want to get featured on this list, we encourage you to update your profile and use e27 regularly.

To kick it off, we’re starting with the up-and-coming Web3 startups in Southeast Asia. If you want to see opportunities in the Web3 space, here are 10 Web3 startups you can connect with today.

Connect with more Web3 startups here. Of course, you can always connect with other startups outside this list. Just head to our startups database and filter based on your interests.
