Description

We're flying to Cebu next week! And bringing our fridge over for the Cebu startup community.

Joining us will be Kickstart mentor JOE ROUSE, who will talk about "STARTUP FUNDRAISING: The Stages of Pain."

Joe, who is based in Singapore, is Executive Adviser to NUS Enterprise and Executive in Residence at The ICEHOUSE incubator. He serves as an expert adviser to the NZ Ministry of Science and Innovation and Commercialisation Australia.

Joe has over 15 years’ experience in technology business operations, investment, and consulting. Operating roles with venture-backed startups include VP Business Development/COO of GridIron Software, Director of Marketing at Philsar Semiconductor (Acquired by Conexant) and product and corporate marketing manager at Tundra Semiconductor, from spinout through IPO.

In these roles, he worked closely with leading North American venture capital and corporate venture funds, as well as industry partners including Apple, Adobe, Cisco, IBM, Motorola, Microsoft and Sun/Oracle. His investor roles include General Partner at Pioneer Capital Partners and iNovia Capital, and now Venture Partner at Get2Volume Accelerator.

He has also served in leadership roles at Business Angel Network SE Asia, Start-up@Singapore and the University of Auckland Spark entrepreneurship program. Joe holds a bachelor’s degree in the life sciences and an MBA, both from Queen’s University at Kingston, Canada.

So, if you're a startup keen on fundraising OPM soon (uh, that's other people's money), show up and help us empty our fridge!

Btw, in case it rains, we move the fridge inside.

IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER: Doors open at 6:30pm. Joe speaks at 7:30pm.
