Having trouble looking for angel investors or venture capitalist (VC) to unleash your business idea? Or simply looking for an environment other than your garage to start a potential business idea?
The University of the Philippines (UP) Incubation facility in Cebu has been open and actively looking for IT startups. Modeled after Ideafarm of Ayala Internet Venture Partners (AIVP), the facility is an ideal environment for startups and small-and-medium enterprises (SMEs) that don't have the machineries to go big in the technology arena. By tapping the Incubation facility, startups will have access to academe research, business support structures and use of its facilities such as computers, servers and Internet access. This increases the survival rate of startups in their infancy stage and make them grow into viable businesses without an initial big investment.
The UP Cebu Incubation facility will help mold the technopreneural spirit, vision and aptitude of Cebuanos or anyone in the region. Soon the facility will become an arena for VCs and investors looking for potential startups to invest into (reminds me of an NBA bootcamp where scouts lurk for promising picks). Successful companies that thrive in this model are Google, Yahoo
to name the few. Dream of yours? Do now.
