About Us
Building startups
together
Starting Block Ventures is a venture studio based in Makati, Philippines. We champion companies bold enough to reinvent how we live.
Our Story
From service provider to ecosystem architect
Starting Block Ventures was founded in 2024 with a clear mission: to empower early-stage startups with mentorship, resources, and networking to transform innovative ideas into successful businesses.
We evolved from being service providers to becoming ecosystem architects— building the infrastructure that helps founders thrive. Our three pillars— Ventures, Pitch, and InSpace—work together to create a comprehensive support system for the next generation of entrepreneurs.
Based in Makati, Philippines, we focus on six key industries: Fintech, Healthtech, SaaS, Climatetech, AI, and Consumer. Our reach extends across ASEAN and Greater China, connecting founders with global opportunities.
