Asia Startup Network is about helping impactful early stage Asia based tech startups grow quickly and expand overseas and amplify their positive impact in the world.

​

We are a non-profit, volunteer run platform to serve early stage startup founders as well as give back to the underprivileged community. Since 2020, we have grown into a community of 3,000 Southeast Asian founders, investors and partners inspiring and supporting each other in our fundraising and startup journey. We also raised nearly $180k in donations for charities.
