Tapped In
Have you ever wanted to visit one of the largest accelerators in Asia? How about connect with investors and successful serial entrepreneurs who are alumni of 500 Startups? That’s exactly what the members of Anchor Taiwan have been busy with!
Start-up Acceleration
We visited AppWorks for an alumni happy hour, meeting teams from around Asia, such as Qourier, GoWiFi, Anno., Good Moon Mood, and micepad; all running successful start-ups in all sectors of the internet start-up area! Beers, local cuisine, and a ton of new connections was the theme of the night. Successful startups ranging from local agriculture tech, media, and entertainment industries were all present connecting with their peers. Our member, Shaun Lee, also got the opportunity to present Bohemian Guitars to leading companies around Asia! We made a plethora of new friends and access to local networks. What a success!
Tapping Into the Music Scene
In between these exciting events we took part in the Daniel Pearl Day of Music Festival in Taipei! A global community of music lovers from all around the world were in attendance. As our members are in the music scene, this was a one of a kind experience for them — meeting people and rocking out to bands playing in Taiwan! Finishing the night off with an intimate open mic session with astounding local artists. Welcome to Taipei!
Friends of 500..
As one of our own is an alumni of 500 Startups, we thought it might be fun to curate a gathering of fellow 500 Startups alumni that are currently in Taipei as well. We gathered for an epic brunch, introductions to serial entrepreneurs and an investor running all sorts of different successful start-ups! 1 brunch, SIX 500 Startups companies! We got Pic Collage (batch #2), Roam and Wonder (batch #8), Bohemian Guitars (batch #9), Alfred (batch #12), Unicorn 獨角獸 (batch #19) & Carousell 旋轉拍賣.
