Block Dojo Philippines Sets Itself Apart in the Growing Startup Ecosystem
The Philippines’ startup ecosystem is on the rise, with both public and private sectors stepping up to support and nurture emerging businesses. Among the players in this field, Block Dojo Philippines stands out for its unique approach to venture-building programs.
Dominic Santiago, the marketing head of Block Dojo Philippines, shared insights into what sets their program apart from others in the industry. While many startup initiatives focus on providing support to businesses, Block Dojo takes a holistic approach by supporting founders in challenging the status quo.
Santiago emphasized the importance of founders’ skillsets in driving business growth and innovation. The program at Block Dojo Philippines is designed to help founders adapt to the evolving market and incorporate emerging technologies like blockchain into their services.
The venture-building program at Block Dojo Philippines kicked off with a 12-week intensive training in Bataan, where selected cohorts underwent rigorous training to push their boundaries and spark creativity. The program aimed to help founders discover new ideas that could bring significant change to the industry.
Collaboration with the local government of Bataan and investment committee played a crucial role in supporting Block Dojo Philippines’ efforts. The community involvement and support from experts and visionaries further enriched the program and provided valuable insights to the founders.
In March, the first batch of cohorts from Block Dojo Philippines pitched their businesses at a virtual showcase event, presenting their prototypes to potential investors. The Demo Day event marked the culmination of the 12-week program and highlighted the innovative solutions developed by the startups.
Block Dojo Philippines’ commitment to pushing boundaries and creating solutions that challenge the status quo sets a new standard in the startup ecosystem. With a focus on founder development and community support, the program aims to nurture the next generation of innovative businesses in the Philippines.
