On February 27, 2025, we attended Kickstart Ventures Raid the Fridge event, “Trust as a Competitive Advantage.” The session, led by Malyn Molina, President and COO of EON Group, gave us valuable insights on how trust can be one of the most powerful assets for businesses.
It was also great to connect with friends from the ecosystem – Marrione Camacho from Kickstart Ventures, Kristoff Inocentes from GoGym Philippines, and Alea Ladaga from Sinigang Valley. Events like this not only give us a chance to learn from the speaker, but also offer a great opportunity to connect with others in the startup ecosystem, exchange ideas, and discuss the direction the industry is headed — a nice way to unwind but still learn from peers!
We also got a chance to hear from Elisa M., Programme Manager at NUS Enterprise, about the National University of Singapore's NUS Overseas Colleges programme. It’s exciting to see cross-border partnerships like this, as they’re helping grow the talent pool in the Philippine startup space.
Overall, it was a great evening and that’s thanks to Kickstart Ventures! We’re looking forward to more events like this where we can learn and connect with even more people in the startup community.
