Previous: Pinoy 6-month accelerator Launchgarage calls for pioneer batch of startups
The tech startup ecosystem in the Philippines is really heating up. Just a few days ago, startup accelerator Ideaspace launched its national competition to find the best tech innovations in the country.
Today, Kickstart Ventures and Proudcloud are announcing their call for the pioneer batch of startups for their joint accelerator, Launchgarage.
Due to commence within the next few weeks, Launchgarage is a 6-month accelerator program that guides Pinoy startups from the idea stage, to the build, and the launch.
Apart from a seed round of USD 30K for 15% equity, throughout the six months, teams will get access to work space, mentorship and advice, networking, exclusive lectures, and strategic partnerships with tech’s leading players. Expect to have some of your online infrastructural costs subsidized by Amazon Web Services, Google, Globe Telecom and the like.
Spaces are highly limited – Launchgarage is searching for just four teams to join this first batch of startups. Pitches are ongoing now.

SGE is proud to be a media partner of Launchgarage.
