1. Startup Asia Jakarta 2013 will be the biggest conference that we’ve ever hosted.
This year’s event is even bigger than our previous ones, with even more participants, booths,sponsors, and partners showing up. We will also be introducing a ‘startup-investor speed dating’ event and a press conference square.
2. Get up close and personal with investors
It is always tough to catch investors’ attention, especially at big events. As such, we have gathered 13 talented venture capitalists who are ready to hear your five-minute pitches and give useful feedback. Each investor will be stationed at theSpeed Dating pavillion for one hour, so catch them before they disappear into the crowd. In total there will are more than 100 investors attending Startup Asia Jakarta.
3. Breaking news
There will be a special section for media representatives where sponsors and partners will hold their own press conferences. You don’t want to miss out on a good scoop, do you?
4. Attractive prizes for Hackathon winners
More than 13 sponsors have set challenges for developers in the Hackathon, and they are giving away prizes like a MacBook Air, iPad Mini, or Samsung Galaxy S4.
5. There will be more than 100 exhibition booths showcasing cool products
If you are there for eight hours a day, it means you can probably spend just 10 minutes per startup. So it will get crazy (good) busy.
6. Meet and network with international attendees
We have selected 10 startups to pitch in front of judges and the crowd. Coming from Indonesia, Taiwan, Vietnam, Singapore, the Philippines, and even the US, they’ll be competing against each other for $10,000 in cash.
8. We have some very good speakers for you
Last but definitely not least, we believe we have put up some great speakers and content. Some of our speakers includeKhailee Ng,venture partnerat 500Startups; Sirgoo Lee, co-CEO at Kakao Talk; Talmon Marco,CEO and co-founder at Viber; and Andrew Darwis, founder and CTO at Kaskus .
