And that’s a wrap for Geeks On A Beach 2024! 🌊🚀💜 We’re incredibly proud to be a community partner of GOAB this year. It’s also been amazing to see so many people from our PH100 List take the stage, as speakers, visitors, panelists, and moderators. Seeing their impact in action is what it’s all about! A special shoutout to Dave Overton and Tina Amper for the great conversations we had before. It’s inspiring to know we’re aligned in recognizing the importance of what we’re both building. As long as we keep building, the future is bright! StellarPH launched its rocket less than a year ago, and to see how far we’ve come and the impact we’re making already is incredible. Next year, we’re hoping to play an even more active role at GOAB, not just to support the ecosystem but to showcase programs like PH100, which deserve a spotlight on this incredible stage. A huge thank you to the GOAB team for the hard work and passion that went into making this event happen. We see it, we appreciate it, and we’re proud supporters of this amazing community! Until next year! 🚀🌟 Team StellarPH: Enrico Tan Tino Zwirs Pjotr Steinmetz #goab #ph100 #stellarph100 #phsw24

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of hosting an online webinar, "Introduction to Startup Acceleration," in collaboration with Department of Information and Communications Technology and under the guidance of USec Jocelle Batapa-Sigue. 🎉 We were thrilled to see nearly 100 policymakers join us for the session! Our founders, Tino Zwirs and Pjotr Steinmetz, explored the global startup ecosystem, focusing on the Philippines. 🌍 We took a deep dive into the role and impact of startup accelerators, heard inspiring stories directly from a Dutch startup founder, and had an engaging, interactive Q&A session. It was a dynamic and interactive discussion, and we hope it highlighted the importance of building a robust startup ecosystem in the Philippines—and the crucial role accelerators play in that process. Looking forward to more opportunities and upcoming events as we continue this journey together. 🚀

At StellarPH we empower founders! That's why we introduce "Meet The Founder!" 🚀🥇👏 In our first episode, we sit down with Jemar Jude Maranga , the innovative founder and CEO of CodeChum. This Cebu-based edtech startup is transforming the way students learn to program. Join us as we dive into Jude’s journey, the inspiration behind CodeChum, and the startup journey in the Philippines.

🚀 Exciting News: Tech Veteran Xavier Marzan Joins StellarPH as Co-Founder! 🇵🇭 We're thrilled to announce a game-changing development for the Philippine startup ecosystem! Xavier (X) Marzan, a seasoned technology executive and venture capitalist, has joined StellarPH as co-founder. 🎉 Xavier brings a wealth of experience to StellarPH. Currently the Managing Partner of Embiggen Ventures, an AI-focused venture fund, he's no stranger to the world of tech and innovation.

This tech veteran started his career as a consultant at Accenture, building a solid foundation for his future endeavors. But what drives Xavier to join StellarPH? It's his passion for using technology to uplift lives and economies, coupled with a clear mission: to empower more Filipino tech entrepreneurs and bridge the startup gap in Southeast Asia. Xavier believes that the Philippines is lagging behind neighbors like Indonesia and Vietnam in the startup scene, and he's here to change that. Under Xavier's guidance, StellarPH is set to make waves in the Philippine tech landscape. The organization will focus on nurturing young talent through various programs, teaching entrepreneurship as a mindset, providing hands-on startup experience, and building a stronger, more vibrant startup ecosystem in the Philippines. Xavier's vision is clear: "We need to ENABLE & EMPOWER MORE FOUNDERS. This is where StellarPH comes in. We're playing the long game of developing younger talents and workers for the future." StellarPH is poised to be an enabler for change in the Philippine tech scene.
