Startup Coffee Meetup: The Purpose of Other & Frequently Asked Questions(FAQ)

What is Startup Coffee Meetup?

Since August 10th, we have been hosting the Startup Coffee Meetup every other Tuesday in collaboration with Goto10. So far we have hosted 8 Startup Coffee Meetups (August 10th & 24th, September 7th & September 24th, October 5th & 19th, November 2nd & 16th). We aim to offer a regular meeting point for entrepreneurs to exchange ideas. Read about why we launched this project here and what we discussed during our gatherings here. On average, there are 15 - 20 participants for each meetup. In total, we have gathered more than 120 entrepreneurs of all stages and all sectors to connect and share experiences.

Why is this important?

In Startup Genome 2018 Global Startup Ecosystem Report, they found that Local Connectedness—especially relationships with other founders—is strongly associated with higher startup performance. Just as importantly, not being locally connected is strongly associated with lower startup performance. Beyond relationship-building, a healthy Sense of Community fostered by founders helping each other is highly correlated with overall ecosystem performance.

"Sense of Community does correlate highly with indicators of overall ecosystem performance such as Startup Output, exits, startup valuations, exits, unicorns, and ecosystem value. A higher level of Local Relationships is also positively correlated with ecosystem performance. This correlation is driven mostly by the individual metric of Founder Help—defined as founders helping founders, providing advice, introductions, or perhaps just a sympathetic ear. When founders help other founders, overall ecosystem performance is stronger."

We help startup founders and executives build strong local relationships with other founders, investors, and experts. We believe that our activities will foster a stronger sense of Community — “People helping people.”
