About this Event
In 2025, Southeast Asia’s startup ecosystem is at an interesting juncture. Against a backdrop of global AI hype cycles, rising tariffs, and shifting geopolitical currents, both fundraising opportunities and exit strategies have taken on more nuance. From elusive IPOs to strategic M&As and secondary deals, how can founders and investors think about navigating this new terrain?
Join us for a panel discussion exploring how these macro trends are reshaping the region’s startup pathways to liquidity. We’ll unpack:
- The current state of M&A and IPOs in SEA for early-stage startups
- How macro forces like AI, tariffs, and geopolitics are influencing deal-making and investor behavior
- Investor perspectives on liquidity, secondary sales, and alternative exit pathways
- What SEA can learn from exit activity in India and China
Who should attend:
Startup founders, aspiring startup executives, and anyone looking to understand the strategic shifts in SEA’s venture-backed startup scene. This event is especially relevant for those interested in Insignia Ventures Partners’ 12-week experiential programs, including the flagship VC Accelerator immersing professionals in the processes and rigor of venture investing, and StartCXO, equipping future startup leaders with the cross-functional skills to scale high-growth startups in the region.
