The Alibaba Cloud x KrASIA Global Startup Accelerator Philippines Demo Day took place on February 8, with pitches by ten finalists that were evaluated by a panel of esteemed judges from Monk’s Hill Ventures, Foxmont Capital Partners, and Gobi Partners.
Jacob Cue from Foxmont Capital Partners shared his excitement about hearing the startups’ pitches. “It is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about promising startups from the Philippines and hear about their solutions.” Jason Gaisano, country partner of Gobi Partners, shared the same excitement to welcome and support the selected finalists.
After reviewing the pitches from startups operating in a range of industries, including fintech, health tech, logistics, and more, the judges named Finantier as the Asia Star of the Philippines Demo Day. Founded in 2020, the firm generates profiles for users who were previously unable to access conventional financial services by aggregating user data from third-party apps. At the moment, Finantier is focusing on the Indonesian market and recently started expanding to the Philippines.
