Stand Out in the Startup Scene in Southeast Asia

Southeast Asian startups have wowed the world by securing a record US$25.7 billion of funding in 2021. Vietnam has one of the most vibrant start-up landscapes in the region. Last year, it generated US$1.3 billion of funding - a 4-time year-on-year increase. With 3,800+ startups in an emerging economy, the Vietnamese start-up scene is firmly etched on the radar of international investors. Riding on this momentum, Vietnamese startups should be equipped with a public relations strategy that drives investments and helps them achieve their next milestone. To help startups stand out from the crowd, we partner with Acclime, a premier corporate services specialist to host this panel discussion. We’ve invited Erik Jonsson, Partner at Antler, a VC firm founded in Singapore which has invested in over 300 companies globally, and Jack O’Sullivan, founder of Modmo, an Irish e-biker maker, Vietnam-based that successfully raised US$10.3 million of funding to share their insights on the industry and tips on securing media coverage. Providing a communications perspective is Marissa Anugrah, PR Newswire’s communications strategist who has worked with hundreds of companies in the region to help their brands and products get heard. This session will be moderated by Matthew Lourey, Managing Partner of Acclime Vietnam. 【 In this webinar, we will discuss 】 ◆ The potential of startup funding from an investor’s perspective ◆ Challenges that Vietnamese startups face to stand out in the region ◆ Good PR techniques that build the branding of promising startups ◆ Case study: Modmo, an Irish e-biker maker, Vietnam-based that successfully raised US$10.3 million of funding. 【 PANELLISTS 】 ◆ Erik Jonsson, Partner @Antler ◆ Jack O'Sullivan, Founder @Modmo ◆ Marissa Anugrah, Senior Consultant, Communications Strategy @PR Newswire 【 MODERATOR 】 ◆ Matthew Lourey, Managing Partner, Acclime Vietnam
