PH tech startups get bridge to Silicon Valley through US entity

Kickstart Ventures Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Globe Telecom, has tapped California-based global accelerator Plug and Play Tech Center (PnP) as an international corporate partner, thereby giving select Philippine tech startups a bridge to Silicon Valley.

“Plug and Play will work with Kickstart to first identify technology areas of interest, and we will then seek out high-tech startups that are developing innovative products or solutions in these areas and help them grow their business,” said Saeed Amidi, chief executive officer and founder of Plug and Play Tech Center.
