Academy

Lifelong learning

The Academy brings together thought leaders, founders, and investors in workshops, seminars and courses designed to equip the next generation of thinkers and doers with in-depth knowledge of the startup and innovation ecosystem.

Venture Capital Accelerated is a great crash course for founders looking to fundraise and students looking to break into venture capital. It gives a succinct overview into how a VC thinks and operates, and provides a useful point-of-view from the other side of the negotiating table.

Venture Capital Accelerated was a great crash course on the needs and requirements of VCs. From a start up perspective, it’s useful to know what VCs are looking for and what ultimately drives these firms. This makes it easier to align interests and work better together. From a startup enabler perspective, this helps us match companies and investors better.

Grounded and inspiring, an excellent eye-opener for local creatives and their global potential. An impactful and precise lecture every creative Cebuano needs.

My experience with the VCA was transformative.  Through clear teaching, hands-on sessions, case studies, and simulations, the VCA provided me with a comprehensive understanding of venture capital. I am now confident to navigate the fundraising process.
