Echelon Philippines 2025 featured a fireside chat between Puiyan Leung, Partner at Vertex Ventures SEA & India, and Thaddeus Koh, Co-Founder and Programs Director of e27, exploring the mindset founders need to navigate entrepreneurship.
Leung highlighted that successful founders balance optimism about what is possible with a practical understanding of how to achieve it, grounded in a clear personal reason for choosing the entrepreneurial path. She also stressed the importance of openness—being willing to connect with investors and peers to learn continuously.
Building relationships during good times, not only in moments of difficulty, helps founders identify the right investors partners.
