Join us for an exciting VC fireside chat: Wavemaker Partners x Kickstart Ventures!
You can look forward to a zero-hype conversation between PAUL SANTOS, Managing Partner at Wavemaker, and JOAN YAO, VP for Investments at Kickstart.
In this 88th Raid (T̶h̶e̶) Your Fridge edition, Paul will share his journey in becoming a Venture Capitalist, leading the Wavemaker team in fundraising and investing across Southeast Asia, as well as his thoughts on what it will take to unlock the potential of the Philippine startup ecosystem.

Wavemaker is also a Kickstart co-investor: in 2019, their investee company Coins.ph was acquired by Gojek.
Thanks and see you all at our 88th Raid (T̶h̶e̶) Your Fridge on September 24th!
