Starting Block Ventures
Building startups together.
Starting Block Ventures is a venture studio in Makati that co-builds early-stage startups across the Philippines and ASEAN. Its website explains three programs to founders, investors and partners, and takes startup applications directly.



Three programs, one studio
Ventures, Pitch and InSpace each get their own page with their own numbers, so a founder, an investor or a partner can find the part that concerns them.
Applications without a back-and-forth
Founders apply on one page with their stage, industry, location, team size and what support they need, so every application arrives ready to review.
A way in for investors
The Pitch page explains how founders from the Philippines and wider ASEAN are put in front of a global investor network, and links straight to the pitch platform.
Events that build the community
InSpace lists the studio’s event formats: fireside chats with founders, live pitch sessions in front of investors, and tech talks streamed on Breakpoints.live.
