Endeavor has just wrapped up MatchCAP Asia 2024, an exclusive investor roadshow held on May 13 and 14 in Singapore.
A joint effort between Endeavor offices in the Asia region, including Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Japan, Pakistan, and Vietnam, MatchCAP Asia 2024 is the premier investor event in the Endeavor network.
This year's edition aimed to provide a platform for entrepreneurs and investors to connect, collaborate, and drive innovation in the region's entrepreneurial ecosystem.
A record-breaking turnout.
Over the course of two days, attendees from diverse industries and backgrounds converged in one-hour one-on-one meetings, with this year's event involving the curation of over 700 introductions between a total of 160 companies, 70 startups, and 90 investors.
Compared to the previous MatchCAP event, this year saw the number of participants double, with curated connections seeing a 5x increase. This demonstrates significant growth, and also reflects Endeavor's goal of doubling this year's participant numbers.
“We are thrilled to see the growing interest in Endeavor MatchCAP Asia this year. This year’s event surpassed all expectations, with double the number of participants and five times the number of curated connections made versus last year. It is evident that there is a growing appetite within the ecosystem for meaningful connections, and MatchCAP continues to serve as a catalyst for fostering these relationships," said Manny Ayala, Endeavor's Regional Managing Director for Asia.
“Endeavor MatchCAP Asia 2024 has not only strengthened the entrepreneurial ecosystem but has also laid the foundation for future collaborations and partnerships that will drive economic growth and prosperity across Asia,” he added.
The success of MatchCAP Asia 2024 — with support from Aspire, BNI Ventures, Carta, Cooley, DBS, and Gunderson Dettmer — reflects Endeavor's commitment to nurturing entrepreneurship and fostering strategic partnerships in the region.
