Value Creation
To help startups in our portfolio scale, we provide both access to expertise by connecting them to industry experts who can help them further improve their practice and deepen their understanding of the industry, and access to market through our affiliation with Globe, Ayala, and Singtel groups.
Our Programs
Deal Day is Kickstart’s flagship matchmaking platform that connects Ayala business units and other corporates with curated startup solutions. Through structured scoping, priority alignment, and focused presentations, we help surface and accelerate collaborations that address real business challenges and unlock strategic value.
Area 55 Mixers are curated networking events that bring together innovation teams across Kickstart’s portfolio companies, the Ayala Group, and other business organizations. These informal, conversation-driven sessions foster early-stage dialogue, build trusted relationships, and create a strong foundation for future collaboration.
Kickstart partners with embassies, accelerators, and global VCs to bring cutting-edge global startups into the Ayala ecosystem. These cross-border collaborations open doors to new technologies, investment opportunities, and strategic partnerships that drive innovation across industries.
Kickstart Coffee Chats are focused conversations designed to connect our portfolio founders with industry experts and corporate leaders. These sessions provide space for insight-sharing, open dialogue, and identifying aligned commercial or strategic interests.
