About this event

KOPI CHAT WITH ENTREPRENEURS

KOPI CHAT is a series of inspirational talks on a Founder’s startup journey and failures for the tech start-up community. For 10 years now, KOPI CHAT has been served up specially by BLOCK71 around the world alongside a good fresh brew of local coffee.

Since 2011, we have hosted speakers from the USA from the likes of AirBnB’s Brian Chesky, 9GAG’s Ray Chan and Coffee Meets Bagel’s Dawoon Kang, to Asia’s V-Key’s Eddie Chau, NextBillion.AI’s Ajay Bulusu, Wiz.AI’s Jennifer Zhang, Litecoin Founder Charles Lee and Traveloka’s Co-Founder and CTO Derianto Kusuma.

In the 2nd KOPI CHAT by BLOCK71 Saigon, we will have a chat with Siu Rui from Carousell which is a journey from a Startup to one of the Unicorns of South East Asia.
