I hope it is ok to promote a community event here.
Since 2016, the Dragons’ Chamber pitch event has given foreign entrepreneurs a platform to get advice and exposure. More than a hundred companies have gone through our program and 30 finalists have presented at our annual event in front of hundreds of people.
Some have later received the investments they needed to grow. But not enough. It has always annoyed me that we do not have enough investors sniffing around them. We are talking really early stage companies here and most foreigners do not have the kind of networks in Taiwan that they need.
We also have a special place in our hearts for foreigners investing with foreigners. Around the world, we can see how immigrant communities are pooling their money and investing with themselves in a rising tide lifts all boats mentality.
If you can think of any people you know of with a bit of money that they COULD invest, please forward to them. If you can think of any channels I could use to REACH that demographic, please let me know.
