Composed of Itemcount, Kippap Learning Corporation, MedsGo, Rezbin, Safe, and Supafaya, these chosen startups were among the 270 applications that were reviewed based on their potential to create meaningful impact in their respective fields.

Startup incubator Founders Launchpad announced the six selected startups that will join its initial staging. Composed of Itemcount, Kippap Learning Corporation, MedsGo, Rezbin, Safe, and Supafaya, these chosen startups were among the 270 applications that were reviewed based on their potential to create meaningful impact in their respective fields. The first-ever cohort of Founders Launchpad were startups from various industries such as healthcare, sustainability, education, e-commerce, and more.

“In the Philippines, the startup community is still quite small, but we have a lot of potential. I’m happy to note that there are still many opportunities, and by building a strong community and fostering a strong drive among the startups, I believe we can see more exciting developments and increased support,” said AHG Lab CEO Rene Cuartero, regarding the expected dynamics between Founders Launchpad and the startups in its first cohort.

These early-stage founders will be supported by Founders Launchpad in developing scalable, sustainable and stable businesses through a three-month program that combines a valuable curriculum, investment support, engaging learning experiences, and ample networking opportunities. The aim is to equip these founders with tools they need to thrive and succeed in the startup landscape.

Throughout the 12-week program, the startups will connect with other like-minded individuals through regular community events, founder talks, and networking opportunities. This allows founders to build relationships and learn from one another, further enhancing their growth and development.

“I am very excited to witness the transformation of the startups as they go through the 12-week program. They will have a demo day at the end of three months, and I am excited to see how things change, how they adapt and improve,” said Simon Bauer, Founders Launchpad program lead.
