CHC Manila Chapter Launch
June 3, 2025
Draper Startup House for Entrepreneurs, 1210 Metro Manila, Philippines
AT A GLANCE
24 Investors
9 Startups
13 Corporates
Manila was the fourth and busiest stop of our Climate Hero Club SEA Series, and the city delivered. Nearly a hundred founders, investors, and corporate champions filled the Kaya Founders hub for a morning that never slowed down. Five badge colors (green for Agritech, yellow for Energy, blue for Water, orange for Mobility, and purple for Finance) turned the room into a living map of the climate-tech scene. The bell rang every ten minutes, chairs shifted, and by the fifth round inboxes were full of new contacts and pilot ideas.
