Summary
Many early stage startups struggle with getting off the ground, so our partners from 1337 Ventures who facilitated it designed the bootcamp to walk them through the fundamentals of building digital businesses,” said Monchito Ibrahim, Deputy Executive Director of the DOST – ICT Office. “This is a step forward for our local startup ecosystem development and we look to continue with this program in the years to come,” he added. Of the 28 participating teams, 11 made it to the finals and pitched their ideas again to the jury: School Merch, Guia, PageBoy, FilantroPH, TeeVee, PasPas, RET.asia, Paraiso PH, Fresh2ket, Nambal, and Impok. The Alpha Startup Bootcamp is part of the DOST-ICTO’s larger initiative of promoting technopreneurship and innovation in the country through its seedPH program. Towards this, seedPH leverages the use of ICT for relevant economic and social change through the development of the Philippine startup ecosystem.
